Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
To pull over to talk to a pedestrian is a total out-of-towner move.
If he'd pulled over, it'd have been a wee bit less annoying.

Heh. I lived on the 4th floor of Shelton in my junior year. I recently reconnected with my roommate from that year on LJ, which is too cool.

If I only had a brain...
Really, we just like to scare people from out of town so they don't drive.
It worked. I moved.

OK, that actually sounds like a local move (i.e. cut off and/or block anyone possible). Any idea where you were - certain neighborhoods/outlying towns of greater Boston I can totally see the "wrong way/stop to chat" thing going down.

Naples road, which is one of the cross streets on that block
I lived at 16A Winslow Road! Like the next street over. Our landlord Dick and his, as we liked to call her concubine, Peg lived in the bottom of the house. He seemed to work on taxi cabs for a living. There were always a ton of them parked in the parking lot behind the house. We thought his "work" on them consisted of turning back the odometers. He was a sketchy dude but a nice landlord. He never complained about us and returned our hefty safety deposit back in full, in cash when we moved out. Even though we had done a job on the house somewhat.

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

That's kind of my response, Nora. I've never been to a live professional basketball game before, and I've rarely if ever watched a whole game all teh way through on tv. But I'm willing to believe it will be fun.

I'm curious how MA would fare if it was fender-benders per-capita.
I'm sad - most of the New England states are near the bottom, and all are at least in the bottom half, except for Maine.
