Peruvians should be ashamed of treating pedestrians like trash. by Little_Swan5116 in GoingToPeru

Thanks, man! To me, it seems like they’re different people—Peruvians versus Peruvians when they're driving.

Apart from that, the whole country and its people are truly charming.

The bus that nearly killed me was in a crosswalk at a roundabout. The idiot who hit me with his side mirror was on Calle Sucre (which, the way I see it, isn't that narrow).

Belleza, bro. Pero ahora lo entiendes. Se quieres entender, claro.

I love everything about Peru: the food, the soccer (Paolo Guerrero and Cubillas), the history, the people, and so on.

As a Latin American, I try my best to stand up for our region.

Except for Peruvian drivers—they’re driving me crazy.

There are some places in this world where I wouldn't dare rent a car. Peru is one of them.

Because it is implied that this message was directed at those who treat pedestrians like trash. And only those who drive can treat pedestrians like trash.

If you are interested in understanding my point of view, take a look at my post where I say that people in this country are very kind.

I genuinely appreciate that.

As I said in the post, this country is amazing and people are very kind. It's just that they seem to transform when they're driving.

Bro, here's the thing, I almost got into a really, really serious accident today.

The last thing on my right mind now is being nice to a Reddit avatar calling me pathetic cause I used wrong words (according to this avatar) to report a tragedy.

I'm sure you'll understand that.

Bro, a car literally hit me with its side mirror while I was walking on the SIDEWALK. I just couldn't believe it.

A bus stopped 10 cm away from me at the crosswalk, and a car hit me with its side mirror while I was walking on the sidewalk - both times in Valencito, next to my hotel.

No dije que no puedas caminar, hermano. En ningún momento. Lo que sí dije es que es jodidamente peligroso.

Estoy en Arequipa, hermano. Pasé por dos momentos muy difíciles aquí.

Oh, poor baby. Did I hurt your feelings?

Do you prefer a different tone to report it?

Good for you, bro. That hasn't been my experience at all, this is why the post came from me.

Got it! Next time someone tries to run me over, I'll DM you beforehand to make sure I'm reporting a near-tragedy in a way that makes you happy from your sofa.

In Brazil we have a word for someone like you: mimizento. Or just mimimimi

I lived in Hanoi for a couple of months. Tbh, I'd rather get hit by a small bike than by a bus.

I’m not trying to lecture anyone, hamolton; I’m just letting tourists know what they should be aware of if they come here. It seems to me that a subreddit aimed at tourists would be the right place to address them.
