An Open Letter to Motorized Scooter Drivers

I understand that your motorized scooter is technically small enough to fit on the sidewalk.  I understand that sometimes traffic sucks and you just want to bypass all those pesky, law-abiding vehicles.  But I must say...what in the fuck?!  While I was walking on the sidewalk, as pedestrians are wont to do, did I hear you...honk at me?  To move out of the way?  You would be right to do so if I was walking down the middle of the street, which is indeed where you are supposed to be driving.  But no.  I'm not walking in the middle of the street.  I'm walking exactly where I'm supposed to be walking.  So then, why aren't you driving exactly where you are supposed to be driving?  I'm sorry, sir, but I feel it my duty to tell you that you relinquish any right to angry honking the very moment you begin DRVING ON THE SIDEWALK.  Maybe try the road next time, and you can honk to your heart's content while simultaneously avoiding killing me.  Everybody wins, no?
