This morning I was crossing the road at the pedestrian crossing, as I do a few times a day. The zebra crossing is not governed by lights, but by the notion that motor cars are compelled to wait for pedestrians to cross before proceeding to drive through.
Now, if I'm not already in the crossing, but can see a motor car about to go through ahead of me, when they look to gauge my position, I wave them through, knowing that both I, and the motor vehicle, will be able to proceed without stopping and all is good in the world.
This morning, I encountered the usual situation, noticing a car approaching the crossing that I was also approaching. The car was probably even ahead of what I would describe as the usual position for the earlier example, and could easily have proceeded before I arrived, but did not, due to the nature of the crossing.
Upon noticing the Carlton FC licence plate on the motor car, not only did I continue to walk, making the motor car wait further, I did not even give the generic wave to thank the driver. It was instinctive, and not considered and employed.
I am curious to know whether I am a good bloke with a strong passion for footy, or just a bit of a &*^&* sometimes.
Are there any other examples of footy hatred spilling into your daily adventures?
