Walking around a rainbow cross walk . Also just not using a cross walk in general and taking more time trying to cross the road at a random location than just walking slightly down the road to cross the street even though that's the direction they where walking in the first place .

Fellas, are laws gay?

[–] Sheeple 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm the opposite... I forget the crosswalk exists, walk down the road 4 minutes, have to cross it and then as I wait I remember

"God damn it there was a crosswalk"

And IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME AGH

You should not have to backtrack nearly ten minutes to get to a crosswalk. That's just terrible urban design.

Also I don't know where you are, but in many US States every intersection is a legal crosswalk unless signed otherwise. It just may not be a marked crosswalk.

No no I just straight up skipped the intended crosswalk and went down a long stretch of road where practically no one even lives, to the cross for a bus stop.

The crosswalk is actually perfectly placed (I'm in Germany btw, we call em zebra stripes) and I'm just too idiotic and think only of switching sides once I'm way deep down the road.

So is there not a crosswalk at the bus stop itself? I'm struggling to imagine a bus stop in the middle of literally nothing: there has to be some destination for them to have a stop there, right? If there's a destination, there should be a crosswalk so you can get to and from the bus regardless of which direction you're going or coming from. Otherwise what you have is one-way transportation.

It could easily be in a residential or industrial area

Some places paint their crosswalks in rainbow colors, which obviously makes you gay if you walk across them.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Exactly what it sounds like. A crosswalk painted in rainbow colours.

See, for me, that's an aggressive anticar thing, not a masculinity thing.
