I know it's only a small thing, but there's one thing that has f**ked me off on no less than 2

[Rich]

mornings this week.

I have to cross a road to get from the surgery to a Sainsbury's local where I get my breakfast and lunch. I get to the pellican crossing, press the button and wait to cross.

On two seperate occasions, a man has come on the other side of the road and also pressed the button.

Can he not see that the light is on? Does he think that I am just waiting at the crossing until there is a gap in the traffic? Does he think that pressing it again will make them change quicker.

I was prepared to let it go the first time, but it happened this morning and I felt like losing my **** at him. :-(

it's ingrained in your brain...

Perhaps I am too stressed with work :-(

Not for Steve Jobs, perhaps.

it makes no difference and just makes you feel better

Sometimes people press it, sometimes they don't. In both cases there is a 105-second interval between the red man coming on and the green man appearing.

:hehe: :yikes:

im seriously shocked..people should riot about this imo

Though they seem to have a lot more of these over there. Every corner seems to have these crossing signs.

[Snin]

so you know if you can cover 30 meter in 4 secs then go for it

[Rich]

that does it too.

[Pat Vegas]

went back and forth a bit. Took some photos.

'What are you doing?'

'we got loads of f**king time to cross'

[Pat Vegas]

I quite like them.

I know I can set off when it is on 2 seconds and still have plenty of time.
