A BENEVOLENT motorist has permitted a group of pedestrians to cross the road with a noble flourish of his wrist.
Ron, not his real name, was driving down a residential street when he took pity on some inferior carless people standing by the kerb. In an act of heart warming charity, Ron grandly swept his open hand from left to right like a king granting them right of passage.
He said: “I don’t want to make a big thing of it, but it’s nice to give something back. Those types of underclass pauper have enough trouble in their lives without being stuck trying to cross a road for ages.
“The look on their faces is always priceless. People are delighted that a busy, important man in his own car would be thoughtful enough to let them go first. Sometimes they even swear at me because they are so overwhelmed.”
Pedestrian Shane, not his real name, said: “Yeah, it was nice that he let us cross over, but did he really need to gesture with his hand like he was presenting us with the crown jewels?
“You could stomach it if it came from someone in a Rolls Royce or a Bentley, because they’re obviously idiots with more money than sense, but he was only driving a Nissan Almera. I’ve got a much nicer car than that in my garage.”
