She stops and chats to parents and kids in the middle of the zebra crossing. She hugs the kids in the middle of the crossing. She frequently waits on the crossing for people who are twenty meters away. She seems incapable of noticing the traffic jam which is frequently a quarter of the size on the day she is not working.
AIBU and frankly a bit of a bitch (my mate tells me yes) to think that in the middle of a busy town, during school run/rush hour traffic what you need in a lollipop lady is rigid german efficiency. Parents and children ushered across at a forced march. People grouped together and not crossed under a minimum number.
I want shouting. Hand signals. Kids and parents running across the crossing. Not the nice old lady handing out hugs and good mornings.
AIBU?
