Crazy Pedestrians Make You Want To Scream!

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?
