    Tbf what annoys me more is people who just hang out there on a straight road with no traffic in either direction and refuse to cross til the little white man tells them to.

    Like use your damn eyes. There is no one there. Just cross the street.

    If its a busy intersection, multiple lanes, press the button.

    If its india, just fucking cross because its the driver’s job to avoid you and if you just keep walking straight it keeps it predictable for everyone they will find a way to move. If you dont just start walking you won’t get to the other side. In which case just stay there

      That works in the United States if you’re white. If you’re brown, it’s an invitation for a cop to harass you. And if you’re Black, they’re allowed to kill you.
