Why would old ladies need this help anyway? Just wait for the light and cross. If some rear end in a top hat runs the red and smashes into you being near a Boy Scout isn't going to help. Maybe it was a thing before traffic lights were invented and somebody more agile could help them navigate the speeding horses and buggies and poo poo? It is or at least was commonly used in a humous way to denote over the top chivalry. And maybe it always was because it's a pretty useless gesture. But I get the feeling it was a real thing at some point. So what's the deal with that poo poo?

A Fancy Hat posted:You might be the only human contact that person has all day, god forbid you try and help someone that society has basically deemed useless. Help them with what though? What assistance are you providing by crossing the street along with them? You aren't making it any safer. I guess you could give them some physical support if they have mobility issues, but just helping them from one corner to the other is pretty weak stuff if that's the case and a weirdly arbitrary thing to build a whole trope around.
