Crazy Pedestrians Make You Want To Scream!

Written by Boston Biker on Mar 18

We all know that pedestrians like to just walk out into the middle of the street without a care in the world.

Over at bostonfixed (which you should for sure check out if you like fixed gear stuff and live in Boston) they have a great thread about what you scream when pedestrians jump out in front of you. Here is a selection of some of the better ones.

“hut”
“whoooop whooop”
“yo”
“heads up”
“no brakes”
“fuuuuuuuuuuck”
“Usually I yell a stream of obscenities. I have riding Tourette’s.”
“Bitch please”
“CHECK YO’SELF BEFORE I WRECK YO’SELF!”
“Oi!”
“Really, just yell insane shit. Pretend like you’re a little, hairless sasquatch.”
“OYYYYYYYY” or “EHHHHHH”
“PLEASE DON”T CROSS RIGHT NOW THANK YOU”
“Watchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchoutwatchout”
“Heyheyheyheyheyheyheyhey.”
“SHARK!”
“Hot Soup!”
YO!, HEY!, or SHITFACE!
“Mother-Bitches!”
“Ki ki ki”
“Yip Yip!”
“MEAT SLED!”

I tend to go for eye contact, predictability, and in many cases I simply stop and let them pass even if they are j-walking.

So what do you yell if you yell anything?
