When people push the button at a pedestrian crossing when they have clearly seen you push it 2 seconds before.

Drives me nuts. I'm not standing here for the good of my health!!

On that same note, idiots who stand at a pedestrian crossing having NOT pressed the button!

Tyrones own

Or better yet, pushing the button then proceed to run across against their light, leaving you to have to stop 3 secs later with no one there to cross !

Is bringing the car to a halt not enough?

I do that. I'm fully aware of how pointless it is, but I still do it for some reason.
I sometimes push it 2-3 times in quick succession - just to make sure, like!

It's pointless pressing it at all in a lot of cases, it won't stop the traffic any quicker.

I heard that in Dublin they on timers during the day and the button only makes a difference at night.
Time to take a more chill-pill approach to life.

I hate it when people press the button AFTER the light has already went green for them to cross.

Just tip it up and empty them out of it.
