Betoota Heights real estate agent and Audi Q8 owner, Mitchell Finely has today reached his limit with pedestrians using zebra crossings and not thanking him for the favour he is so kindly doing them by stopping.
Speaking shortly after a twenty-something clutching a flat white, sporting activewear and leading a comically small labra-cocker-pug-a-poo ‘dog’, used the crossing and didn’t thank Mr Finely voiced his anger.
“I don’t know what else to say other than it’s gotten completely out of hand. Every few blocks I’m having to stop to let these brain dead yuppies across the road – which is for cars I might add,” said Finley.
“In the good old days, when people had some common decency, they’d actually say the words ‘thank you’ as they looked you in the eye and hurried across the road.”
“These days there’s not even a whiff of a raised hand or a half-arsed head nod of recognition for the inconvenience they’re causing me!”
After our reporters questioned if Mr Finely knew that drivers were legally required to stop at zebra crossing to let pedestrians cross, Mr Finley revved his 4×4 to 4,000rpm and accelerated away from the crossing, using all the power his $100K car has on offer in an apparent show of primal dominance and attempt to make up precious lost time.
More to come.
