I press the button even if I’m not crossing….
Me too.
I’ve altered my route to work recently as I’ve discovered a set of lights that pretty much change to red as soon as you hit the button. It’s ace. Sometimes I’ll cross then press the button on the other side just because I can. This results in the lights letting about four cars through before turning red again. It would appear that some car drivers in general are becoming more self entitled. They need small reminders every now and then.
I had an altercation just yesterday morning. Walking (on the pavement) minding my own and a car is coming up the road at great speed. Anchors on, indicates and then tried to drive across the pavement about a foot in front of me. I carried on walking and he had to stop.
Dick head winds his window down and shouts “I’m indicating” to which I replied “It’s a pavement you **** idiot, pedestrians have right of way” this is why I press the buttons.
