Crosswalks are bad

You know who you are *chirp, chirp*; do you push the walk button over and over and over again at an intersection every damn morning all the while that chirpy sound the button makes is driving everyone at the bus stop beside you absolutely bonkers? *chirp, chirp* Notice how people tell you to friggin’ stop doing that *chirp, chirp, chirp*, that it doesn’t make the light change any faster every single day *chirp, chirp*? You wear the same pink, ill-fitting jacket everyday so you’re pretty hard to miss. *chirp, chirp, chirp* For 3 straight minutes, every single weekday, you make me and everyone else at that bus stop want to slap you silly *chirp*.

Given that the last time we stopped at a marked crosswalk resulted in a hospital visit, $10k worth of repair needed on our 5-week old car, physio appointments and lost sleep...y'all can push those little buttons to your hearts content. Unless it's a crosswalk at an intersection...I ain't gonna stop. I learned my lesson the hard way.
...and yes...crosswalks are BAD!

Crosswalks interfere with natural selection - they slow it down. So do traffic signals in general. I agree - B.A.D.
