Lots of interesting stuff baked into this one. Personally I really enjoy the bitching about the cashier who weighs the vegetables as if slow checkout lines don't exist in the west

    There’s one light I go through often on my moped and I will have to hop off, run to the pedestrian button, and run back because the sensor doesn’t detect my moped and that’s the only way to get the light to change 🙃

      I would double-check this instead of just listening to me, but I understand that the law for motorcycles is that it's legal to run red lights in those situations, if you do it safely. I would imagine it's similar for mopeds.

      This actually reminds me, there's an intersection that I used to go through regularly that used a weight sensor and didn't have buttons. The sensor was placed in an unintuitive place and sometimes you'd get stuck behind a car that hadn't stopped in the right spot to trigger it, and one time my at the time girlfriend and I sat in a 10+ car line (usually only 2-3 cars max on that road) for like 5 minutes because the person at the front wasn't figuring it out or running it.

      I think one of us got out and had to go talk to them, but it's been like 6 years so my memory could be fuzzy.
