Let's Bitch

I’ll be the first to mention that I am not the most patient person in the world; or probably in the room.  But, I do know that I am not the person I am about to describe as the most annoying person possible! 

I don’t understand how a 50 year old Asian woman riding a beach cruiser style bike down a busy high school aged infested sidewalk has the audacity to come to the crosswalk and push the button for the crosswalk signal 43 times within two seconds!  ONCE is enough.  Twice is a little obsessive and anything over that will get you dirty looks and possibly a very legitimate voo-doo curse issued under my breath.  In my experience, Asian people are never in a hurry – especially if you are behind one walking at the mall or in traffic.  Also, who would dare ride a bike in front of a high school at the precise time the kids have made it out to the streets and parking lots and then give off the illusion of being in such a hurry that they are unwilling to wait the 12 seconds for the cross light to signal the go ahead?  So picture if you will….a very busy sidewalk with angry and self proclaimed Princesses walking across the street to the nearest Starbucks for after school social hour and an old Asian woman on a bike trying to make it to the crosswalk.  Once the Asian lady makes it to the crosswalk she proceeds to hit the button multiple times.  I’m sitting in my car with my daughter and we are watching all of this happen.  My daughter notices the Asian lady pushing the button and asks why this lady keeps doing that.  I said I didn’t know, she must be mentally unstable and then I proceeded to chant “Banish, Bind, and Enemy Be Gone”.  So with all that said, please don’t be the person that mashes the button more than once.  This applies to elevators, buzzers, doorbells, and crosswalk signals.  You just look stupid and you piss people off.  STOP!
