I know we have all done it. Most of us have even done it more than once. But to the impatient lady at the crosswalk of the busiest intersection in town, GET A FRICKEN LIFE!!! I promise you, you are not that important! What on earth would posses you to push the walk button that many times? I would love to know what you are thinking. Do they need to post rules on the walk buttons now?
Push button one time.
Wait for the word WALK to appear.
Walk across the street.
Pushing the button over and over again does not make a bit of difference. The walk sign will appear when the traffic lights change. No sooner than that! You are not tricking the light! Pushing the button 100 times does not make it think that there are 100 people waiting to cross. Nor does it think that you are in a really big hurry so it better change now. You can not fake out the light by pushing the walk button to go both ways. It knows you only want to cross one way. It knows this is driving you crazy. It will just make you wait. Ahhhh yes, keep pushing the button! Its not helping though is it? The only thing you have accomplished is the laughter in my car and the many other cars waiting at the light. Yes, we are laughing at you! So is the person who reviews the tapes of the camera at the top of the lights designed to catch those who break the law! With out you, their day may have been quite boring. But I guarantee you, they are laughing too.
On a brighter note, I have to give you props. At least you are out in the unusually warm weather getting some sort of exercise while I sit on my lazy bum in my nice cool air conditioned car! Kudos for you!
Word to the wise! When you get to the cross walk, and you press the button. Once is all it takes. Two or three times, we will let slide! But if you keep pushing that button, I promise you, the only thing you are doing, is providing the rest of us our humor for the day, and perhaps a funny story we can share with our family!
