I thought I would use this blog as "sometime" forum to vent the stuff that really pisses me off.
Today - the red hand counting down at an intersection. You know, the one that says "DON'T WALK". As in "hey, pedestrian, STOP", there are cars turning and it is NOT SAFE TO WALK". It seems so straightforward: green light, green hand - walk. Green light, flashing red hand [see above] - don't walk. Yet every single bloody day, regardless of where or what time, people cruise through the red hand with a sense of entitled nonchalance. No wonder so many pedestrians get hit walking across the street. Sure, most cars drive too fast and pay far too little attention to anyone but themselves - hey, that also describes pedestrians at a green/yellow light. And don't even get me started on those idiot "joggers" (not "runners" - we have too much dignity) who when they reach a red light jog slowly in place, like they may just miss cracking the 12 min mile pace they are shuffling along at...
So, walkers (and "in place joggers), give it a rest and wait until the next cycle of the green light. Remember, I am out there, like Batman, always watching....
peace out,
Johnny Boy
