I mentioned in another post that I live near a small railway station where to get to the opposite platform you have to cross as pedestrian level crossing. The rules are if the light is red you don't cross, especially because long distance express trains thunder through at 90 + miles per hour too.
I was waiting for a train yesterday and the lights went red. At the time the train I was waiting for comes in, more often than not the express train passes through on the other side. Two stupid f'ing cows with a buggy each and a toddler a piece holding onto the buggies arrive on the opposite platform and decide that it will still be ok to saunter across on the red light with the (slower)train about 30 feet away. They were giggling as they were crossing like it was some big adventure but all I could think was, what if the buggy wheels get stuck or what if one of the toddlers falls over. They were also running the risk if being mowed down by a virgin train travelling at such fast speed they would have had no time to react. Luckily the fast train arrived a minute later and the wheels did not get stuck.
I was shooting them evil looks as were a lot of others but they were oblivious as to what danger they had just willingly put their babies in and were still bloody giggling. To make it worse, normally when someone does this the driver or conductor will give whoever has done this a bllcking but nothing was said so in all ikelihood they will probably do this again. I hope to god I don't see this one day (my house overlooks the railway line and the level crossing)
What planet are some people on?
