I am the youngest School Crossing Supervisor in my area, at 23 years old.
People assume that I have no power, but rarely do they get away with out my catching their license plate number. The signs are legally binding, and carry the same fines as running any other.
There was no one behind her, and children needed to cross. They try to claim that they're in a hurry.
There is a quarry further up the road I work on, and no one realises how much force it takes to stop a fully loaded truck.
Here's a hint: Your car would be destroyed before they knew what happened.
It was my first week on the job, and these teens wouldn't listen to me. The girl was struck bad. I had to physically stop people from crossing, before rushing over and performing first aid. The boyfriend could barely react to the sight.
She fractured a few ribs and needed some time off school, but when they returned, they both crossed at the crossing.
I was literally in the middle of the road, ready to cross a mother with a pram, when this assclown hit the accelerator, running me over.
Yes, he did have more than enough time and road to stop.
High School kids are STUPID AS FUCK! They don't listen to the road around them, and when you have to stop them in an emergency, they get defensive.
Before I was a School Crossing Supervisor, I worked Traffic Control on road contruction sites. It's why I know so much about trucks, emergency services, and first aid.
Technically I'm allowed to wave cars through cos of the tickets (licenses), but my boss doesn't like it.
My boss didn't fire me for this, because they were trying to steal the council's property.

This one I actually enjoyed because I've never thought about the stories a crossing guard would have. Thanks for sharing OP.

The idea of you beating assclowns with a stop sign brought too big a smile to my face.
crowbarscout
Yeah, I see the same asinine behaviour taking my children to school.
TheGodDamnDownvoteFairy
I got huge satisfaction from the last one. +1 to you sir
sirtuckins
Man high school kids really are getting dumber sorry about their stupidity OP.
SakeWeasel
Your boss should let you beat anyone you want.

I'm actually off to work now, so if anything happens, I might make a bonus

Holy shit you got hit by a car.

Is this a job you get paid for? I always assumed it was volunteerism.
CallMeBaconLord
I het paid well for it. Close to $30 an hour, plus travel ( Aus Dollars

I like seeing this side. The crossing guards at my little brother's school are power hungry assholes. They'll wave at you to go, and then

whistle at you for going. Or not going. Or literally anything. One stopped me, for a good minute, with literally no one else around, even 2

though the school zone times ended right as I pulled up. Just because he could. One lady is nicer though. But the dude is an asshat 3
CallMeBaconLord
Yeah, some are like that, but I'm just trying to make sure the kids are safe. No one really likes being held up

I went looking for more puns, but only found out that a crossbow trigger is sometimes also called a tickler. You're welcome.
