You know I wouldn’t be standing here, waiting for the little green man, if I hadn’t pressed the button. You know it but still you drive an icy dagger into my heart by walking up and banging on that button again. Tap-a tap tap. Again!! Tap-a tap tap! WHY?!!
Some day I will just turn around to whoever you are and scream. Someday I will go to Mitre 10, purchase a broom handle and some chain. Make myself some nunchuks.

Hmmmm, that was probably me. I just keep hitting the button, semi-discreetly [don’t ask], until the lights change.
I’d explain it but the weasels in my head won’t let me.

Please contact me ASAP if the day comes. I do so love it when a good man snaps.

Mark, I hate those people. One day I’m gonna say something clever like, “I don’t think it’s working. You’re the fourth person to press the button and it still hasn’t changed”… James

Why not glue the button down? Or lather the surface with shampoo?

Nails - You meanie. You’ll get yours when you rock up next to James.
BB - Ah - the price of being a good man is that usually people are waiting for you to snap.
James - lol :)
Switch - you anarchistic maniac!!

i take a whole different slant on things and refuse to touch the button.
melbourne’s a big city, and one can only imagine how many foul, purulent fingers have poked around before i got there.
the secret game i play whenever i’m at the lights… to try and guess how dirty the button-pusher’s fingers. unfortunately, it’s not often that i underestimate the basic hygeine of society at large.

so… on reflection, that was a bit of a negative comment on my behalf.
hope you had a good weekend, y’all…
