I once saw a jogger push the crossing button on one of the busiest roads in the city and then continue on his way without crossing. I kinda respect that kind of mad-lad behaviour. :)

One hour commute to the office for a job that could be done from home is the real destruction of time in a human life.

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.

Just for you, Jeff, I'm pushing every single walk button I see, especially when I'm not crossing the road.

Raises a good point. So we should destroy those cars to make way for trams.

People intentionally say stupid things on Twitter to rile up viewers into arguing in the replies (free engagement!) and get even people who hate them to share their “content”

The confusion I feel as a European about this post.

I'm pretty confident pushing the button actually doesn't do anything. You press the button and wait forever and eventually the lights change but they were gonna do that anyway.

I’m taking my 2” recline it’s all I got

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.

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.

Oh hey I recognize that street and that guy. He's a free-stater nutjob who has at least one criminal investigation against him

This the same guy who made calls for child labour to be legalised and for the civil rights act to be repealed... I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this isn't (deliberately) satire

That's a 6 lane road. You must be perpetually on steroids to think that would be normal.

In my area all of those buttons are vestigial and the cross walks all go on timers.

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"

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.

Making ~100 cars wait ~30 secs

bud ask me if i give a fuck.

They'll just arrive 30 seconds later at the next red light where they still have to wait for the same 5 phases

if it's satire, it's not funny. If it isn't, he can eff right off.

This is rage bait, right? What is this guy saying btw, when 10 car drivers are making 200 people in a light rail wait because traffic lights are completely car centric?

I don't understand what he wants the pedestrian to do. Not cross at all? Wait until there's no traffic?

Close to my home there is two lights on either side of a busy roundabout. Have seen highschoolers coordinating pressing the crosswalk buttons to maximize the mayhem. One part of me thinks they dont get enough beating up, and another part of me thinks "for the lulz! "

Of course it's satire. Do you think a driver found parking, got out of their car, and took that photo? Of course not. They have places to be! Urgently! Like sitting at the next red light.

If it's not satire, I'd love to see his reaction when someone presses the button then realises it's clear and they didn't need to and jaywalks 😅

Ok. I'll also push it when I'll be on the other side of the street, for the next pedestrians.

I swore I thought this was the same intersection but i guess its not
