What did I learn today?



In today's edition of, "What did I learn today?" we explore the issue of etiquette.

I stood today waiting for the walk signal at a busy intersection downtown. When the signal changed, a car lerched forward as if to cross in front of me, then stopped. I walked.

I looked to a passing fellow pedestrian as if to silently plead my case. We mutually shrugged shoulders and kept going.
