Alex Hall

I got beeped at as a mean prank. I currently hate people.

Uncontrolled intersection. A car to my left, on my perpendicular street. I step, it moves. I stop, it stops. I step again, it stays still, so I cross the street. As I'm in front of the car, the horn blares. I stumble forward, half draggin my poor guide dog. As I reach the far side, I hear people in the car laughing and celebrating that they "got one". I'm sure I'm on Tiktok now.

@alexhall That's just evil. Had that happened to me, I would have responded in a manner that would not have been good for me in any way.

@DavidGoldfield I'm generally calm, and hard to get much of a reaction out of, especially when I know someone is doing something just to make me react. I'll admit, though, that my instinct was to flip the car off, something I never do.

@alexhall Wow. Whoever thinks that's a good idea is a jerk. That could get dangerous.

@alexhall Yeah, there have been some asswhole drivers in my city as well. The joke will be on them though, I'm going to start video recording my crossings with the Meta Glasses, and sending the vids to the cops.

@soundshadow87 I don't have video glasses, but my first thought was exactly that. I would have loved it if I could have turned back and very clearly shown them my video glasses aimed at their license plate. Thinking about it now, I should have pulled out my phone and gotten some pictures.

@alexhall Dear god. People are pieces of shit.

@Kaliah Yep, pretty much.

@alexhall that’s so fucked. People have become much more comfortable with being mean these days. Hope you’re not still feeling too shaken by it.

@BorrisInABox @alexhall Wow. That shit should not be okay. :( It's *not* okay. That's dangerous.

It's sad that people like them don't think about the safety and potential traumatization of you (or* your guide in that matter. Safety issue much? :(

@alexhall What?! What even goes through someone's mind to make them think that's a good idea? For some people, empathy is clearly dead. I'm glad you're okay.
