Does it know?
What the heck is up with some pedestrians that feel compelled to badger the traffic control system? When you walk to a corner and push the button on the streetlight, it sends a signal to the traffic control system to give a "walk" sign with I assume (no jokes) the appropriate amount of time to cross the street. But what if you continue to push that button? Like say continuously. Does the system think: Oh this person's in a hurry, I better hurry up and change the freakin' light. Or does it think: What an ass. No probably not, But I was just wondering. Do you think one push of the button is just as effective as say a million? Maybe that if they are pushing that button when the sign does turn from "Don't Walk" to "Walk" they feel as if they are in control or they accomplished something in their otherwise sorry and out of control lives. . . hmm
