I was on the way into the city today and encountered what I consider to be the biggest flagrant foul of all – someone pushing the button to get the pedestrian light. No, that’s not it. Try to maintain focus.
What burned me wasn’t the energy expended in the frantic button pushing, BUT the unabashed and illegal crossing of the street BEFORE the pedestrian light changed to green.
What’s that about? If you’re going to press the button, common courtesy requires you to stay and use that light to cross. I don’t care if you jaywalk, but do it without inconveniencing the rest of the universe. Seriously.
Those buttons are there for people who can obey the law. It’s simple. Press the button, use the pedestrian light. Ignore the button, do as you please.
I would like to pass a law allowing those of us with pellet guns and ripe tomatoes to pummel the button-presser-non-waiter. How do you feel?
We welcome your rants in the comments too. As well as the venues you’d like to see us dine at.
Really! Let’s do lunch!
