The Gambling Addict: With his life, not his money, but this is what Milton's doing every time he walks out into traffic. Milton calls jaywalking "the most awful, habit-forming vice a man falls prey to."

Dead All Along: The ending reveals that Milton is an angel, with wings on his back. Presumably his jaywalking luck ran out.

The Shrink: Milton goes to a "head doctor" who gives him the sensible advice to only cross streets with the crowd. He tries, but falls back into his old habits.

Jaywalking Will Ruin Your Life: An unusual spin on this trope, in that Milton gets addicted to jaywalking, and that ruins his life.

By the Lights of Their Eyes: A variation. Scenes of traffic only show headlights and taillights zipping past a black background.
