Disproportionately pleased with oneself

Another exciting lunch time incident to report.

I had just been to my photo lab to drop off the wedding films (a post about doing wedding photography is on my list for later by the way). I was returning to work via the pavilion and got to a set of lights and pedestrian crossing.

As I approached the lights changed to red and I decided to wait for the green man as the green cross code informed me by way of cartoon hedgehogs being squished.

Also, I have been run over by crossing roads at daft times before, so overall, my desire to get back to work wasn’t worth risking death for, hence I waited. It’s good to wait.

A woman on a bicycle was clearly feeling fruity though and dashed across the road on her wheeled transport, despite the man not being green. She made it across the road with little time to spare and as she peddled off past me, I heard her say to herself:

“YES! Made it”

How funny is that, she was well pleased with herself that she broke all the rules of road crossing. It’s admirable what people can get their daily pleasures from. She clearly doesn't lead an exciting life.

Would have been a different story if she was hit! Then she would be saying:

“NO! The pain”
I will leave you to decide who made the right decision, but more importantly, shouldn’t she have dismounted before crossing?
