And the worst part is the powers that be will probably promote those lazy, stupid and incompetent fuckers ahead of you. It is usually the way things work. I've seen it happen so many times in 25+ years of working.

Oh I totally agree, it has already happened at this company. Stupid powers that be.
When I read things I don't hear the words in my head. I have to concentrate to do so. I don't know if that's normal or not.
When I hit the button at a crosswalk - I don't know what those are called - I always think 'did it register that I pressed it?' so then I hit it again to be sure, but then I think 'what if it did register the first time, but pressing it again cancelled it?' so then I press it a third time, but then I think 'what if it didn't register the first time, but it did the second time, so now the third press cancelled the second one?' Then I look at it in aggravation and resist pushing it again.

Those crosswalk buttons are sneaky cunts. I know in Australia it varies from state to state and from suburban to inner city whether or not they actually have the ability to change traffic flow. Sometimes they literally do nothing and the lights will just keep on doing whatever the fuck they are programmed to do and they pretty much only exist for blind and deaf people so they know when there is a change. So sneaky, so bullshit.
I just press the button over and over until the light changes. If it doesn't register some clicks, the rapid input of button pushes should get rid of that random error. If every other click cancels the previous one out, then rapid input makes it more likely that at any time, it sees that "yes" someone is waiting to cross. Of course, this doesn't account for "pushing it more than 3 times in a second cancels it out entirely".
Ours make the weirdest clicky sounding noise. At first, I found it disturbing, then I thought maybe its like the easiest sound to locate just by hearing in a busy, loud intersection.
Blind people using echolocation. Hooray.

There are some near campus that yell "WAIT!" when you click them. So when I go up to one, you hear "WAIT-W-W-WAI-W-WAIT-WAIT-WAIT-W-W-W-" But it doesn't say "Go" when it's clear, it just beeps.

Since I was about 5, I have wanted to go skydiving more than almost anything else. I have never gone, because I find the idea of jumping tandem with a professional incredibly boring.

the crosswalk signals here tell you to wait when you hit them. So I just create rhythm tracks with a very authoritarian voice saying "wait, wait, wa wa wa wa wait."
