I was walking along a sidewalk last month (ON the sidewalk) and the bus pass so close to the curb that I had to move my head or get hit.

I always stand a little bit away from the busses but you're not always prepared for the KILLER MIRRORS OF DOOM, LOL. A friend of mine got hit by those mirrors twice...

I can understand getting hit on the passenger side, but if you're right next to the driver's window of a moving bus, you're clearly somewhere you're not supposed to be.

The marvelous invention replacing both judgement AND the fine art of rear-vision in a single stroke of mastery has already been ruining the tranquility of suburban backyards, rich and poor, since the early Sixties. It's known as the backup horn. After any snowfall, as astrophysicists will confirm, it's is the only message of terrestrian origin that can be heard across the Galaxy. The consumate idiot, --most probably a civil servant--, who gave birth to this (mmmmph!) invention should have been accidentally dropped from a flying helicopter straight into the blades of another chopper flying below. In fact, this most subtle mirror substitute generates the only objectionable noise in any city... It even inspired Ludwig van Beethoven his Bagatelle in A minor WoO 59 aka "Für Elise" Now behave. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-B4sjUve3E But, young man, wake up!
