yesterday, on the way to pick up my kids from school, i was waiting at a pedestrian crossing for the "green man" to flash. i know it's probably very childish of me and some of my mates find it hilarious but i think it's up to me if i don't want to get killed! what really p*ed me off was that a driver decided to "beep" me before the bleep started. How stupid and impatient....it's not like he/she could have got across any quicker.They would have still had to wait. I was very close to giving a rather nice gesture but thought better of it just in case it was one of the parents I was going to bump into the playground! am i pathetic?

me and kids were waiting for green man once with a friend of mine and her daughter. my son and her daughter darted across as soon as green man started bleeping and were nearly hit by a car that had turned right and had carried on going. i always hold them back now if i can until i'm positive that there are no "stragglers".
