I'm Walkin' Here!

Don't Block the Box

Today in Murray Hill I could barely cross the street because the traffic was insane. The Dark Knight is filming on the Queensborough Bridge, so everyone had to use the Queens Midtown Tunnel, which is right by my apartment.

Pedestrian Rage is very real, and brought on by suburbanites who don't understand the most basic rule of Manhattan driving -- don't block the box. Worse, they get aggressive trying to get one block closer to where ever they're from and tend to gun it through yellow, and even red lights. If there was ever a valid argument for taking the Long Island Railroad, the East 30s this evening is it.

Otherwise, I turn into this.
