Have you noticed?

I turned onto a traffic free city street yesterday and gave her some throttle as I accelerated from 5 up to 35mph. The exhaust must have reverberated off the buildings because a lady j-walking across the street in front of me glared at me and started waving her hands downward while yelling 'slow down'. Pretty annoying when I wasn't even speeding. Actually considered just hitting her for a minute.

When people do crap like that I have a tendency to give them the finger

I had some frickin' "sign guy" (don't know if he was a cop or not) pointed at his "slow" sign when I went through some road construction. He didn't see me speeding because he had his back to me, but he whipped around and pointed to the sign.
I was doing 25. Jacka**.

I've had this "perception of speed" thing before too. Was in the (indoor, multi-story) parking lot of an apartment complex I used to live in. The speed limit in that thing is 10 mph. Most idiots lap it at 20-25 while yapping on cellphones, which has led to a few fender-benders but luckily no human contact that I've heard of. I always roll through there at 5-10 mph.

There were two older women walking through there one day and I had my windows down, and they decided to start yelling at me through my window about slowing down in the parking lot, because someone could get killed. I didn't know what to do but give them a WTF face and keep rolling. I guess sleek car + loud exhaust = must be moving fast in their tiny brains.
