I was driving through campus near a well-known hospital, on a four-lane, curvy road. I saw ahead, separated by more than one lane from me, three lazy doctors crossing the road outside of the designated crosswalk. I have a friend who used to work at this place and who had previously told me how often the employees were told NOT to cross outside of the crosswalk. The road curves there and most folks on this stretch have just turned. To stop for jaywalkers could mean getting rear ended. The highly detailed and accurate diagram below might create a better mental picture for you.
I was driving slower than the posted speed limit, approximately 20 mph and decided to proceed. There were no cars on the other side of the road. The jaywalkers weren't in any danger, so I continued. Keep in mind, there was an ENTIRE LANE separating me from them and they could have walked an extra 50 feet and crossed at the crosswalk.
As I approached, the blonde female doctor sprinted forward and took a running kick at my car with her pointy, high-heeled witch shoes!! I was stunned and looked back to see her bald male companion cursing and gesturing at me.
The general consensus at the office is that this has to do with my weird karma. I agree that I cross paths with more than my fair share of lunatics, but I think this is on blonde-doctor-lady's karma, not mine.

I agree that those jerks always cross there...all that med school, and no brains! Oh dear. (this is not a blanket statement for the intelligent MDs reading this blog).
