Yes, I understand that it's frustrating to not be able to drive your expensive SUV at the maximum possible speed attainable by that magnificent machine . . . but, really, how fast do you really expect to be traveling on NYC streets in a snowstorm during rush hour???
To the person who screamed at me out her car window this morning

Ha!
If it's "her car window", why is she a "person" and not, say, a woman?
You walk too slow.
Anon: a woman is a person too, no?
Rebecca: I try to avoid walking at all costs.
I wondered if you were (perhaps) reluctant to headline it "To the woman who screamed at me out her car window this morning". Just curious.
I avoid walking at those timings too.
I don't wonder, I too wouldn't include To the woman...
