Beef!!
One thing that really bothers me when driving in Vancouver is PEDESTRIAN!!! Almost every time I'm on the road, I would encounter or witness someone jaywalking. This isn't really what bothers me as i know jaywalkers exist in every cities. But the thing that REALLY get on my nerves is that drivers actually stop for these jaywalkers! And i mean they come to a COMPLETE STOP! Since they stop for them, a lot of jaywalkers just take their sweet time crossing on RED. Sometimes even putting traffic to a halt. Plus, nobody ever honk at these illegal street crossers!
In many cities I've been to, when drivers see a jaywalker ahead, they would blare their horn as a warning. Some may slightly tab on the brake out of courtesy, but definitely has no plan of stopping. Let it be known that jaywalking actually requires running and possibly dodging, but definitely NOT walking.
I just feel that if you plan to cross on a red, you are fully prepare to be honk at, to run, dodge and maybe loose a body part or two.
And what's with those seniors, people with young children, or people with physical impairment who jaywalk!!!

Yeah! People walk around like it's their right to get hit. And they should. A driver should just clip their ankle or something, teach them a lesson. Or drive by really close, reach out, and slap them on the head.
oh Ben..you absolutely read my mind. Mike can attest that i speak those same words every time i drive.
