Down the hill from where I used to live there is a main road where the road turns sharply and the cars drive way too fast. A Philipino woman had already been killed by a hit and run that year.
One day I pressed the button to make the lights go red so I can cross. When I saw the little green man I started walking. I was listening to my cd player so didn't hear a mini bus approaching way too fast. It missed my face by 6 inches and was so fast it stopped 10 meters further on.
I looked at the bus and all the passengers were looking at me. I was too shocked to take down the license plate or even give the driver the middle finger.
O well.
