Guess what—banging on the button 20 times doesn’t make the “walk” signal come on any faster. You only need to push it once—it’s called technology, morons. -Trying To Sleep

  3. I confess. I do that. I know it doesn’t make any difference but I am an impatient person and its a piece of unresponsive metal.
    ( but I only push it once if someone is watching)

  4. I used to laugh at people who got to traffic lights at cross walks who pressed the button even though others are already standing there waiting…. until this one time I was crossing burnside drive andddd the asshat waiting to cross hadn’t pressed the button and the little walk sign didn’t come up and I had to wait another rotation (which is about 5-6 minutes)… just enough time to miss my bus out of that hell hole and my transfer out of Highfield (another hell hole).

    So, I don’t care what anyone thinks — when I get to a cross walk Imma press the button regardless of who’s there.

    sheer volume over having to bother with accuracy, I guess.

    I somehow doubt this is physically keeping you up at night tho.
