I took a running class for PE at BYU and the instructor was the coach of the women's CC team. I can't remember his name but he was a very cool guy and made the course a lot of fun. He told us about how little respect he felt runners get from drivers in Utah (I think this is a complaint in most states but he used Utah because he lives there). He said that during one run he was about halfway through a crosswalk when a driver who had already made eye contact with him pulled forward blocking the entire crosswalk. He said it pissed him off so bad that without thinking he just kept running. When he got to the car he leapt up onto the hood, jogged across it and leapt off, never breaking stride.

I have to admit that ever since he told me that story I've wanted to do that as it's happened to me plenty of times.
