At the traffic light junction
-
To be honest with you, I am damn pissed and annoyed when I am at a traffic road junction waiting for the light to turn green. How long do you wait for the light to turn green? That would be a good 3-4 minutes. And when the Light does turn green, how long do you have on the road? A mere 20 seconds. It is not fair. Moreover, when you are halfway crossing the road, the vehicles are already veering close scheming to cross the road. Sure, we are all users of the road; I demand a bit more equality.
Screw these road drivers. You see what I will do now is to take my slow stroll across the road when it is green light. Unlike other commuters who hurry across, I will stroll and walk deliberately slow across the road. While walking across, I will peer into their windscreen to see the frustrated look in the driversÂ’ eyes. There was once, during my deliberate walk in green light, a merz car driver honked at me. I stopped in the middle of the road, slapped the car hood and show the driver the finger. There was nothing the driver could do, because I was exercising my right to use the road for those 20 seconds. How dare that twit honk at me.
Anyway, if you are one of those drivers who see a man in his 25s, in smart office attire, walking deliberately slowly across the road during green light every morning, then that is me. Either you floor it to ram me, or you can try to honk at me. But I promise you, you will be given the finger. If you do not dare to do either of those things, I suggest you shut your pathetic mouth up. -

why so pissed
-
Well, i speak for the majority of Road commuters who suffer the daily tortuous agonizing wait at road junctions. I was merely trying to give these drivers a taste of their own medicine.Originally posted by DjMatrix:why so pissed -
but i dun think it's the driver's fault....
Traffic lights belong to LTA... -
chey i tot another initial drift stunt or something. but hor, why u so tick kee leh?
-
Hmm nah, i think that is a pertinent social observation that i make. Its just funny that commuters silently accept their fate that they are resigned to such long wait at traffic lights. I guess, it is only right that we commuters retaliate. Besides, we are still not breaking the law.Originally posted by newcomer:chey i tot another initial drift stunt or something. but hor, why u so tick kee leh?
I urge more commuters to join me in this fight. This will teach the drivers to show a little more respect for commuters and not Honk and hurry us. -
I fully agree with you. I drive but I think traffic lights are very unfair for pedestrians. Anyway 20 seconds i think the road u r talking abt must be 2 lanes only and not a main road. Regardless, our traffic lights are not intelligent enough. But at least i'm guessing u press the button and wait for green man right. Some pedestrians dont even press the button just stand there and wait. Traffic light assume nobody waiting cos nobody press. Then green light for cars and red man stay on for pedestrians then they blur blur wonder why the green man nv turn on. I see this kind of pedestrians everyday.
Haiz. And I try to let them cross but i give up cos even if i signal to them to cross at red man and i stop my car, they either dont see me, or if i horn they think i trying to scare them or do something bad, or if not other cars will just overtake me and scold me for not going when its green.
Haiz. -
dun care bout those lights.. cross when there's no car... stop when there's car.

as long as you are crossing the road slowly when it is still green man, then it is absolutely fine.
but if the green man turned red and you are still deliberately crossing it slowly, then you deserved to be honked. -

ya lor, why get so pissed? Fed-up that you can't afford a car yet har? Let me know what you think when you get your own car and met a pedestrian who did the same thing exactly like you.Originally posted by tigersushi:To be honest with you, I am damn pissed and annoyed when I am at a traffic road junction waiting for the light to turn green.

Why don't you find out which driver set the timing for these traffic lights. Its very unlikely a Merc driver would work on traffic lights. You fingered the wrong guy.Originally posted by tigersushi:To be honest with you, I am damn pissed and annoyed when I am at a traffic road junction waiting for the light to turn green.
