crossing the street Options

[demolished]

Do you remember the time when you were little in your childhood; you were going to cross the street?

There was this crosswalk sign that shows a sign of a red hand.
What did you think it means, when you were little?



Honestly, whenever I cross the street, I thought it means to hold hand with someone else.

[*Sandraaa*]

What does it mean?

[*Elba*]

It means do not cross! If it's flashing, it means do not start crossing, and if you're already crossing, hurry the f**k up!

[*Sandraaa*]

Aaah, we don't have that here in Belgium. Well, the sign is different.

i actually always knew that it meant not to cross.
i mean, a huge-flashing-red-hand is pretty scary when at the age of 5.

I NEVER HAD ONEEEE in the town i lived in when i was little
it was a suburb so .. there were like rarely any cars. but when i went to NY like every couple of times a month, i knew that it meant to stop.
=( but everytime i'd cross the street to play tags with my neighbour friends, my mom'd flip the f**k out.

i think i used to just ignore that red hand and just walk across if there were no cars...yep, i was defenitely all about safety

Hahah. I KNOW! I was a little freak out like ... "why it's like that?!" as a child.

I always thought it was telling me, "Talk to the hand!".

[*Mercy*]

My mum never let me cross the street until I was 8...She drove me everywhere.

[EmoEyelinerx]

I actually knew that it meant not to cross, and if my crossing already to hurry the f**k up.

[synthase]

I actually paid no attention to it

[Jeng]

Meh I just crossed when my mom[or older person watching me] told me to, we would cross holding hands.

[*stephinika*]

I just knew it meant not to keep going across.

[weed]

[*Michelle*]

o_o

I thought it meant to stop.

[$$$ soul]

My mom made me cross streets by myself when I was in elementary. My friend lived a couple blocks down and when I get bored, my mom made me go by myself to her house. :)

[annalucky]

I thought it just it meant to just stop where you were. haha, what happens if I were to just stop in the middle of the street when the hand came on. x]

My mom always made sure to tell me that it meant to stay put. We didn't cross the street that much... I live right off the highway in my town, so I didn't walk around that far. And usually we didn't really have to cross the street for my town.
