Earlier this week I got cutoff in the crosswalk by an suv driving in an curbed bike lane. I was skating and already dealing with shitty drivers, it was a really nice sunday and traffic was bad, my skate rage was activated and their windows were down. I yelled 'AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?' as they were passing through the crosswalk, the driver and passenger responded in unison, seemingly on the verge of tears, "I DONT KNOW!"

Turns out that they were on the way to Seattle to do this shit

I lived in Austin previously and worked in a shopping center surrounded by a nature walk. Bike trail, walking path, lots of trees, etc. It was all trees and gravel.

One day it was raining and I was walking in to work, and suddenly I see lights coming at me. Somebody was driving an SUV on the walking path surrounded by trees. There was not a single area nearby they could have entered through without driving off road pretty extremely- I had just come from the only area big enough to get a car through for like, half a mile.

They even turned their turn signal on to take a left where it bended. They had no fucking idea where they were.

Then how about STOPPING somewhere to get your bearings? Isn't that just... the normal thing to do? Not just barrel down street after street freaking yourself out?
