From my home to my workplace there are totally 33 traffic lights of which 30 are influential. I mean, among the other three, one is a flashing red, one is flashing yellow and the third one is always green.
Now there is this one light for a right turn that never, absolutely never was green on my approach. I always have to wait there till the damn thing gives way. Keeping in mind the traffic pattern, the timing and all the other crap in the world, you would say the probability is very high that this light is red when I'm there during my office hours. Right? I'm not that big a dumbass. I work for a tech company and there are no "fixed" working hours for most of them. Even if there exist such a thing, they would be insanely insane. I mean to say that I go to work any time between 6:30 in the morning to noon. That is one heck of a sample set to run into this stupid light at least once when it is green. But no. I have been taking this route for the last 8 months. Assuming I go to work 5.5 days a week on average, the total would be approximately 176 days. So... in 176 days, not even once was I lucky to pass this light without stopping. Hey lord almighty where the hell did the law of averages go. I'm so frustrated now that may be one day I will just jump the freaking thing.Labels: always green, approaching, flashing red, flashing yellow, green, law of averages, red, tech company, traffic light, working hours |
