PRESSING THE CROSSWALK BUTTON
This is for the good sir who decided not only to not press the crosswalk button but to also stand right in front of it, so close he was touching the pole, with his headphones on, so that I couldn't press it for us. Luckily this is my usual route so I know when all the lights change so I just walked but yknow.

In London no one ever presses the button and everyone stands there for minutes on end expecting the lights to change - I do not understand how this keeps happening !

holding up the entire lane of traffic by making a left turn on a busy road with no green arrow and no space to get around you
Holding up everyone behind you for the entire length of the green light and making your turn illegally AFTER the light turns red so no one else can go

asserting yourself as a pedestrian
listen carefully when i tell you this.. you have the right of way in just about every situation. it is the car driver's responsibility to not hit people. now i'm not condoning jumping into traffic here. you should still make responsible decisions as a pedestrian. BUT you must feel empowered to exercise your right of way. is a car trying to roll thru a stop sign while you're crossing and attempting to cut you off? keep walking. get in their way and make them slow down. look directly at them thru the windshield. mouth (or shout) the words "thank you" and smile at them without breaking eye contact and without breaking your stride. bonus points for slowing down your pace and making them wait even longer. this is my daily retaliation against car-centric infrastructure. make them think, at least for one single moment, about their mistake and remind them that roads are for people before they are for cars. always.

city lights from the plane
There's nothing like seeing the city from a plane windows. Sparkling like stars down there. The little people in their little cars and twinkling homes. Feels so bittersweet and human somehow.

staying up late watching rom coms and delivering commentary via text
More specifically, watching your favorite rom com and then your crush's favorite rom com (is there an adult word for crush), back to back at the same time as they are watching them. But instead of the social exhaustion of video calling you just text while you watch them. Even better you guys like each other mutually, so it should be exhilerating, but they cannot and will not be with you so instead it's just a lesson in your terrible self restraint. Exhilerating anyway. Good movies, good conversation. Unbeatable.
