On accident

I kind of can’t take people seriously when they say On accident, I don’t know or care if its more or less grammatical, it sounds like a child sputtering in my mind. It should be By accident or accidentally

Tummy

Any adult has zero business saying this lol

    I get annoyed at people who wait at pedestrian crossings but never push the button.

    Are they waiting for someone else to push it because it’s beneath them? Do they think it has cooties? Do they secretly not want to reach their destination? Do they think the buttons are fake, and traffic engineers are waiting to laugh at them on hidden cameras?

      I am sometimes guilty of this. I incorrectly assume the lights are looping and I just have to wait my turn.

      My current place is within one of those new ‘15 minute’ areas. So I walk everywhere I can.

      The new pushbuttons let you wave your hand in front of them to trigger them.

      All too often the buttons are just placebos to keep you waiting until the walk sign comes on anyway
