this happened to me yesterday. i dropped my water bottle cap on the street and was gonna begrudgingly leave it (it was a plastic bottle) bc i didnt want to get run over, but miraculously it landed on its back, and the car driving past didnt run it over, so i quickly went to grab it since the next car was a significant distance away. i was very clearly darting out into the road (though not very far) and they were close enough to see me so you’d think they’d slow down just in case since no one was behind them right? wrong. if i had been maybe 2 seconds slower they would have ran directly into me.

I Hope one these drivers read these stories and think let me be kinder. I’m from Virginia Beach and it just seems like everyone here is just so entitled specifically on the road. I will admit however I did almost run someone off the road one morning cuz the sun was blinding my vision lol. I turn off that road to one with less sunshine. I felt so bad. I usually wave a friendly hand to let other know thank you or sorry.

Entitled is absolutely the word. And egotistical. Can't tell you how often I see crashes here, and it's obvious one party could have avoided it but were clearly committed to being "right" rather than being safe. The entire city values self-righteousness over actual morality, this is just one way it manifests.
