Women Cant Cross The Road Properly

boardinwork

Has anybody else noticed this? Women always panic and run like idiots when they cross the road

I used to have theories on women being unable to pour pints of guinness correctly (recently disproven) but this line of logic is, simply, impressive. Continue please.

star-pants

what... unlike men who saunter?...

Nah, I've seen plenty of them just stroll out in front of moving traffic as if they thought they were Moses and that the sea of traffic would move aside for them (women with buggies seem to be the worst, as if the child somehow projects a protective forcefield, allowing them to safely use the buggy as a battering ram to force their way through crowds and moving traffic), thankfully seen one or two get a painful impact too to teach them a lesson.

Strange, I'm looking at women crossing the road right now and they don't seem to run at all. Hmmm, that is strange...

Sweeping generalisation to get attention much?

Seriously, I have noticed this for years. One of the girls beside me is terrible. Every time we cross the road for lunch, she legs it across as if theres cars we dont see thundering towards us! I notice it every day when i drive to work.

What is the proper way to cross a road? Surely if you get to the other side unharmed you have accomplished the task.

Intriguing, do you think would this be a problem for women in general or just you?

couldnt agree more in particular girls from the country that are up in the big smoke you can almost smell the sh**e of them after crossing the road!

ha ha another great AH discussion!

ya its true bout the ones with buggys..its bloddy dangerous the way they throw them out there!

All Irish people including myself have a cavalier attitude to road crossing. It does not matter if it is a Motorway or a by road the following rules apply.

1) Pedestrain crossings must be ignored. If you are forced to cross at a pedestrian crossing ensure the red man is showing.
2) Always cross in front of buses or lorries if possible - this hides you from other traffic and bicycles.
3) Remain in a dreamlike state when crossing the road. Show surprise and anger when motorists beep.

So true!

On a sidenote to point A I will add that you must press the button before looking to see if any traffic is around and proceed to cross at red man!

I suppose to be fair, if I was on the same side of the road as any of you, I'd run into traffic too.

although i think women with buggies do think they have the right to walk out infront of anything and roll on anybody that get in there way, God i hate them women.

jester77

but the real question is why did the woman cross the road... shouldn't she have been in the kitchen? :rolleyes:

Ambling diagonally across the road in the dark is a pet peeve.

The buggy girls are scary. Push that child out in from of the oncoming truck why don't ya. I'm amazed that their offspring survive.

Irish people just have trouble following rules. Its not a girl thing.
"oh look theres a pedestrian crossing 5 meters down the road. I'll just saunter straight out here then instead"
I don't drive in Dublin city anymore between the one way system and the ants its a night mare. The ants are people who insist in walking single file across the road in front of traffic. The hapenny bridge is a favorite haunt of these creatures.
:rolleyes:

biko

Walking + texting + mp3player + traffic = hilarity

blah

I don't worry about looking when I cross the road. I'm so hard that the cars bounce off me.

We only do this because you bastrads in your cars laugh at us when we follow the rules.

My biggest pet peeve with drivers (when I'm not driving) is that you're crossing a road that has another one perpendicular to it and some fool turns into the road without using the indicator when you are half way across the street and expects you to rush off the road. Some have the audacity to beep ya! Use your bloody indicators, pedestrians need to see what you are doing too!:mad:

I agree , *some* women do tend to try and run through a gap that a rat would have trouble making.
*Women , know your limits , don't try to cross roads without the direction of a man!!*
In a harry enfield parody voice of course .lol:D

Of course the fact that the motorists also ignore pedestrian crossings doesn't matter at all....:rolleyes: (seriously have nearly been hit a few times by gobsh*tes who figured that even though every other motorist was stopped they were somehow special and could speed on as they liked).


Glad I'm not the only one who's noticed the women with buggies and their odd behaviour. But then maybe the only reason there's not the same complaint against men with buggies is how often do you see a man pushing a buggy?

Im going to get a roll now. How come its always Women who make the rolls? Because, they're crap at that too!

I'm a leathal weapon when crossing roads...the amount of times I've almost got run over. Anyways its better than the other extreme who wait til the man goes green. Thats just ridiculous, especially when theres no cars...

Haven't noticed any gender bias in the muppets stepping out in front of me when I'm driving - seems to be plenty of male muppets too. I just love it when they look, see you coming, dart out, run for all of one stride as if they're doing you a favour by getting across quicker, but then slow to a walk while they're only a quarter of the way across, so you still have to stop. This is usually done about 15 yards from a pedestrian crossing they could have used. And the feckin students are the worst! Wait til they start driving and realise the moment of panic when someone runs out in front of you and you think you're about to kill them :rolleyes:
