Jason Eppink has turned the basic crosswalk instructions to rules for surviving in total panic.
The funny signs by Jason Eppink are called ‘Total Crisis Panic Button’ and instruct people to do things like "start running, danger is imminent," as well as a step-by-step guide for high fives, which include "start walking, build up momentum" and "raise hand, prepare for impact."
I’m going to have to start reading crosswalk directions more—who knew they were so useful?
