Oh hey I recognize that street and that guy. He’s a free-stater nutjob who has at least one criminal investigation against him
Is this Concord? I feel like I’ve driven through here a million times but can’t place it.
must be because no one pushed the button and DESTROYED 30 seconds of your life.

I mean, it looks like any one intersection in suburban North America a few years after it was built.
Its the corner of granite and commercial street in manchester. I drive through Manchester on my way to work every day
What’s with the assumption that the pedestrian getting to their destination is less important than all the drivers? If a bunch of people get held up a long time for a smaller number of people, blame the city planners.
Class warfare
Making ~100 cars wait ~30 secs
bud ask me if i give a fuck.
At 800k impressions, assuming 10 seconds per view, this guy wasted about 90 days with his dogshit take
Maybe I shouldn’t tell you guys this, but sometimes I press the button even if I don’t have to cross the street. Also sometimes I cross the street really slowly, drivers get especially mad about that. Obviously I’m not from the US, since I’m still alive.
Crossing suuuper slowly when there’s a suv waiting is my fav, especially when the driver didn’t want me to cross
I never cross the street slowly… but I never hurry, either, and even that annoys some car drivers 😭😂
While the dude who pressed the button witnessed 100 able, adult people sitting in a polluting metal box instead of walking, cycling or taking public transport.
A polluting metal death machine. I’ve had 3 acquaintances die from being hit by some driver, and in at least 2 of those cases, the driver was younger than 25 (which is the age when your brain finishes maturing and you get better impulse control).
That 25 number is just the age they stopped that study at, not some magical number where everyone is now officially mature. The human brain continues developing through your life.
Your entire body continues developing throughout your life, but there’s a point where you quit getting taller.
You’re really crushing my dreams of one day growing into a 6’8" behemoth here dude.
Raises a good point. So we should destroy those cars to make way for trams.
Trams that never brake because of the collective loss of efficiency that might happen. It’s like the trolley problem except there’s 50 people on the trolley and the amount of money lost by them being collectively late for work is worth the loss of life.
Ohh yes, +1 vote for the trams of death.
I can’t stoppher capin’ the economy just won’t let me.
Rvturn. (This was stopped because the trains kept killing children playing in the street)
Add a giant “cow catcher” to the front of the tram, reinforced so that even the car brain with the most oversized pickup is at the same risk as the rest of us
no… 30s of red light for cars, every 60s, fixed schedule… no wasted time since the drivers already calculated it in :D
The confusion I feel as a European about this post.
Despite seeing drivers enraged by road safety and basic courtesy frequently while walking, this remains confusing AND infuriating as an American.
I have no idea what is the supposed message of the “author”. Don’t cross the street?
Their logic: people in cars = captains of industry who cannot be delayed as they go to their power lunches
People on foot = slovenly, slackjawed peasants who are obviously wasting time
Only the poors walk. Don’t be poor.
These idiots exist
The type who fetishise “the grind” and all that other toxic bullshit
Not exclusive to 'Murica, but over-represented in their “society”
That’s why I no longer stop at red lights. Thats just theft of life. My car also works just fine on either side of the road; limiting it to just one is imprisonment. /s
I pay for both sides of the road….
I mean he has a blue check so he’s a professional idiot
If it’s not, I’ve been given a new mission from up on high.
“Press ye every walk signal, both ways, on every single street ye walk on. Though ye may be turning right at that corner and not even crossing that that intersection, still press ye the buttons.”
Oh cmon don’t do that. Make liberal use of the button when you’re actually crossing obviously, but don’t waste everyone else’s time if you’re not crossing (and emissions, cars require more energy to accelerate than to cruise, especially combustion engine cars).
Making ~100 cars drive 30 minutes to work every day is the destruction of 50 hour of human life, 100 hours both ways, almost every single day, but apparently cars are freedom so 🤷
i’d like to see it the other way around, drivers have to get out and run over to press the beg button. At least they will be getting some exercise.
