Red Lights

So I finished my long day (work + 4 hours class) and I'm coming home after a quick stop at the grocery store, stopped at a light... and I'm waiting there like 15 seconds... and then I notice theres traffic stopped coming the other way, and I notice there's traffic stopped on my left... and a few seconds later I realize that the light has been green for traffic from the right for like a minute now... only problem - there was no traffic! What flippin idiots design these traffic signals?

There's another signal on my way to work, coming off a interstate exit, and it leads into a GE complex - I'll be you know what if GE didn't design the light - as soon as one car comes down that ramp that light is turning so they can come across into GE. The worse part, there's two lights so after I'm done waiting at one light I'm getting up to speed and some privileged engineer comes off the ramp and I'm stopped again...
