rule for lollypop men on my way to school:
1. please be happy, or at least act happy while you're working.
2. DO NOT smoke while you're at the job. you're being a bad influence on the primary school kids that you have to work with.
3. DO NOT j-walk to get to your crossing area. bastards.
4. please, don't start stopping all the cars while the closest people are like 50m away, we don't want to have to run to the crossing so we don't hold up like 20 cars.
5. also, do not wait at the side of the road when there are 20 kids who want to cross, and also myself, otherwise i'll cross the bloody road and ignore your angry shouts, you stupid incompetent man.
6. DO NOT yell at your colleague because he is 37 seconds late. firstly, no one wants to listen to your yelling, secondly its really embarrassing for the poor guy getting yelled at and lastly, no one that stupid will yell at someone for being 37 seconds late!
7. DO NOT decide that you're going to talk to the guy who's gardening nearby while there are 10 kids who want to get across the road. you're being paid to do your job, NOW DO IT.
my little rant about stupid lollypop men.
