LOL moment @ Zebra crossing in Lakeside

[funguST]

looks like im the odd one out i always smile or wave no reason why though... sounds like the women was in a rush and bad mood... id have shouted back as sarcastically as possible cheers sweetheart

I tend to do the same.

 

[WingZero30]

They are called women.

This.

Unpredictable as always.

 

[muon]

I only say (signal) thank you if they stop in advance of me actually reaching the crossing. If I'm waiting and by rights they have to stop, I rarely do.

 

[Scougar]

Should have shouted back.. "You're welcome, LAW BREAKER"

The weird thing is, there has been a discussion on here before about drivers getting annoyed when people DO say thank you. LOL. You can't win. All people are different, get used to it.

 

[axer]

I always say thanks when someone stops at at a zebra crossing for me, manners cost nothing.

 

[wozzizname]

Maybe I'm from a bygone generation, but I always wave an acknowledgement to drivers who stop for me at a Zebra crossing, and appreciate if pedestrians do the same for me when I'm driving.

It seems good manners aren't fashionable these days.

It's not manners though is it? It's the highway code.

You don't wave at cars when they stop at a red light, or do you?

A couple of old ladies have done this to me recently at red lights. My gf and I thought it was quite amusing

You should have thrown her a D-X chop.

To be fair, would you rather thank someone for abiding by the law or be furious at them for disobeying it?

 

[Deep]

I'm at Lakeside at nandos.

True story

 

[FishThrower]

I always say thanks when a car stops for me at a zebra... Its just good manners.

People who dont are probbley the same people who dont indicate on roundabouts or junctions.

 

[chipperhead]

I at least nod or acknowledge when someone stops for me at a crossing, it's just like if a car waits and gives way to you when driving, I always say thanks.

Honestly don't people have manners nowadays

 

[Destination]

To be fair out of courtesy I would always tend to acknowledge a driver if they stop at non-traffic light pedestrian crossing. Seems the polite thing to do.

me too

 

[Kutter]

she was probably late getting back to the Kitchen.

 

[CaptainRAVE]

me too

Me three.

Considering the people who always whizz through when they are meant to stop, I like to thank the people who do actually stop.

 

[Evoss]

I always pop my hand up to say thank you if anyone lets me go. Manners cost nothing...

 

[Nitefly]

Maybe she was just afraid of zebras and was genuinely happy they had dressed up as humans?

Or she was just being a woman. I prefer the former.

You have right of way at a zebra crossing just like when the traffic lights turn red and the green man light is on,do you nod to drivers when crossing the road at a set of traffic lights too? i dont.unless its some hot asian chick driving
