To think if you press the button on the crossing it should be fucking illegal to cross before you get the green man?

[nicenewone1]

If you are stopping the traffic, do not cross when there is a gap in the traffic, you pressed the fucking button so you wait for the green man!

All the stopping and starting adds to the pollution and it really fucks me off when I stop and they have already crossed and are on their merry way!

It can't be just me can it that thinks people who do this are inconsiderate, selfish and rude with no thought for the environment?

Impatient!! Stupid fat fingers.

Rest assured OP, this thread has ensured I will now always press the crossing button even when I know I can duck across without it. Just for you.

I had an ex like this. He took the argument one stage further: he reckoned that if I had the temerity to press the button in the first place (rather than meekly waiting for a naturally-occurring gap in the traffic) I was causing unforgivable levels of pollution as well as inconveniencing innocent road users i.e. motorists who were definitely not responsible for their own fuel use.

I thought he was joking the first time he shouted at me for appropriately using a pedestrian crossing explained his views but no, he really meant it

whatwould surely the op must be your ex as there can't be two people that ridiculous.

How ridiculous

OP is so unreasonable its untrue
