No, nothing is worse than reclining your airplane seat.

What’s wrong with reclining?!
seats should just be permanently reclined to stop the debate
There's already almost no leg room - and sometimes negative leg room, like for yours truly, who's 6'5".
So.. recline your seat?
Doesn't make room for my knees. Also, passing the buck to someone else is just making me the last asshole in the chain.
A bored child on an airplane reclining their airplane seat, repeatedly, while throwing a tantrum.
No, I can scare kids. I look big, mean, and scary.
Trying to quantify road rage?
What makes me mad is when people press the button and then jaywalk immediately anyway. If you press it, you should have to wait just like the drivers will.
I’m not a civil engineer, but based on my experience with traffic lights pushing the button doesn’t actually alter the order of operations for the lights, it just makes it so the next time there is a natural gap in traffic that would allow for safe crossing, the crosswalk light turns on. So it doesn’t affect drivers at all. I’m still not a fan of jaywalking unless the road is REALLY clear.
That said, I’m always Jay walking when I go somewhere :P
Not for smaller roads that intersect with arterials.
Judging by the pic, it's maybe 6-7 cars so 2-3 minutes of human life destroyed. A little uneven but not terrible.
If that road had 100 cars passing every 30 seconds, there's no able, adult male going to Frogger himself across six lanes.
Nor a mom pushing a stroller, a person w/ a cane, etc
Although, surprisingly, he did mention those as exceptions.
I would make every car on earth wait indefinitely if you gave me the power. People would die, sure, but so many more would be saved.
