My Worst Fear

I've been teased about my phobia of crosswalks many times. Unplussed, I've stood firm on my stance that crossing the street in Manhattan is like playing a real-life game of frogger, even if crossing at a red light.

Sadly, my theory was proved correct at 8:53am today at the border of SoHo/The Village:
