How to use a cross-walk and still look cool.

1) If you know that the button has been pressed then don't press it. This makes you appear aloof, like you could care less what happens.

2) Try to observe the traffic light for the other direction in your peripheral vision. When that is in the last couple seconds of yellow, hop off the curb. Folks will think you are in tune with the forces of time-space. This is what Kwai-Chang Kane would do, barefoot of course.

3) Your walk is very important. Practice often. It doesn't hurt to ask opinions of your walk from prominent peoples, i.e. your boss, police officers, college professors, or psychiatrists.

4) Near the end of your crossing ( I suggest about two-thirds in, but there is no rule ) stray out of the crosswalk lines toward the left or right, but just a bit. No cage can hold you, tiger. It helps to think of tiger sounds in your head while you are doing this. Lion sounds are acceptable.

5) Don't step up to the curb, you stupid savage. Hop. Careful not to fall, as confidence is key.

6) Repeat.

I hope this helps.
