After what happened at the Traffic lights this morning I decided to start this thread
I had to call to a building off Shandon Street in Cork to drop in some forms. On the way back to work I stopped at the traffic lights behind a car on the top end of Shandon Street.
Light are red and a woman with dark glasses and a guide dog approaches the the pedestrian crossing. It was obvious to me the woman was blind.
Light go Green as the dog reaches the traffic light pole and he stops and sits down. Driver in front does not pull off and there is no traffic coming the other way
The woman moves her head from side to side in a motion that appeared to me that she was listening for the traffic.
Wait for it
The driver of the still stopped car raises his hand and waves her across the road. :rollin
Dog stays sitting as he is trained to do waiting for the pedestrian beeper.
Woman moves her head from side to side as if she is still listening for the traffic
Again the driver raises his hand and waves her across the road. :rollin :rollin :rollin
A fellow pedestrian beside the woman who was also waiting to cross went back to the wall of the house to hold on to it and was doubled over from laughing, he could not be consoled.
I am still behind the dozy driver watching all this and had to take the bike out of gear and trying to stop me and the bike falling over from laughing.
Driver finally drives on and I am there trying to put the bike in gear while still trying to stop laughing. :lol :lol :lol
Made my day
