I was coming back to work from lunch today, and I was in the left-hand lane. Traffic was somewhat backed up on the other side of the road due to the traffic light, but had started moving again. All of a sudden, this little old homeless man (well, I assume he was homeless because of where he was, and how he looked) steps out into the road not 2 car lengths ahead of me from behind a vehicle on the other side of the road. He never once looked in my direction!! I had to slam on my brakes, and I was laying on the horn, and he side-stepped and literally pushed himself away from the front of my car by putting his hand on my hood!! Then, he just kept right on crossing the road! He didn't stop, or say anything, or even look at me! He just went right on across the road in front of the car that was in the lane next to me (who had also stopped)! I've never come that close to hitting anything, person OR animal, before!
