How do you like your lollipop lady/man?

The Dummy Runner

Whats the story with these lollipop ladies? It takes 2 of them in places to do one road if there is an island in the middle. Do they volunteer?

They only raise their lollipops when the green man is on anyway??
On the one I use with my four year old that requires the two person operation, they stand so that its the pedestrians in between them and the cars; both of them!! Surely, they are standing in the wrong place?
Should they not be between the traffic and the pedestrians? Do you think I should tell them?
They know everybody..... Morning Jacinta, Morning this, moring that...... and close on 100 teachers must pass them multiple times everyday.
Why has nobody told them??
Do you think I shoul just grab their lollipops and run?
Probabation period over unless it's volunteer work but I doubt it!!

Lollipop lady my arse.

Rant complete

I think they're one of the most unnecessary jobs there is.

Most lollipop women leave their lollipops near their location, so if you hang around when they're done with their 'job', rob it. Rob it!

I like mine with a kiss. Boiled or fried, I'm satisfied, as long as I get my kiss.

Write down the link to this thread on a piece of paper and slip it to one of them next time you pass.

Write "share" at the bottom of the piece of paper so that lollipop person A passes the information to lollipop person B.

Simple.

Theres another one I know on a smaller road that dosent have ped lights so she has it outside her house!! I do see the pop poking out from behind parked vans.
Rediculous.

The whole thing is a scam.

That's not even real lollipops they're holding up.

My mam used to be a lollipop woman but she got sacked for stealing. We should have known at home though, the signs were there.

I think they should employ a lollipop lady to stand outside the Dail and help the poor unfortunate TDs across the road to the canteen Patrick Guilbaud's restaurant where they eat the lunches their Mammie's made for them the tax payer is forking out for.

It's because I am scared of you.

Why are there no young, good looking lollypop people?

They'd cause car crashes instead of preventing them.

I like them when they're there. Used to walk to school as a kid, lollipop lady for the busy main road bit. One day she was off sick. 9 year old me decided to cross regardless. I woke up 30m down the road with a crowd around me. Most of whom were amazed that a 9 yr old could bounce so hard off a speeding ford cortina and still open their eyes. Ohh, if it happened these days, I'd be richer, richer I tell ya.

It was like the future career of choice for 4-6 year olds, along with spaceman, cowboy, train driver....

BTW do you know what the black bit on the sign is for? To write the reg no of any car that didn't stop in chalk.

My mam was the lollipop lady for a time when I was in primary school. It was embarrassing as fúck. She used to keep a disposable camera in her pocket to catch the reg numbers of disrespectful drivers. She'd also scream abuse at me from the road when she saw me trying to skip choir practice
