#long light

[yesterdays-xkcd]

You can look at practically any part of anything manmade around you and think "some engineer was frustrated while designing this." It's a little human connection.

Long Light [Explained]

Transcript Under the Cut

[Cueball in a car, sitting at a red light.] Cueball: This light always takes forever. I'd like to smack the idiot who designed this intersection.

[An engineer steps up onto the hood of Cueball's car.] Engineer: Hi. Cueball: Who the hell are you? Engineer: I designed this intersection.

Engineer [arms spread outward]: You're right - I should have just made the light shorter! Never mind the hours of simulation and testing I did. Never mind that this intersection interacts with it's neighbors in a complicated way and it took me a week to work out timing sequences that avoided total jams.

Engineer: Clearly, I'm a crappy engineer and you have a better solution. Go on, show me your proposed timings.

Cueball: Get the hell off my hood before I start driving and fling you into traffic.

Engineer: You can't. Light's red. Cueball: Well, when will it change? Engineer: Tuesday.
