    Lol wut. If a car doesn’t let me cross even though I have the priority as a pedestrian, I usually hit the side mirror or the car. They can go fuck themselves with their overpriced rolling boxes. People get so mad when you touch their cars. I like it.

      I often walk or cycle past a school and a daycare, and here they have recently “upgraded roads” which means that they have scraped away a few pedestrian crossings. I 100% do shitty tricks to cars driving too fast or not giving enough space, especially if I am moving around the time kids are active. (Around here kids are still allowed to walk/cycle from school and often play around the town.)

      I have made air kicks, always do when necessary, but sadly so far they have missed…

      I usually hit the side mirror or the car.

      Until someday you’ll get a well deserved surprise.

        Lol, if touching a side mirror gets you that angry you need to look in a mirror and think about whats wrong with you. Also I’m a carpenter, I most often have my tools with me, I could do way worse than “hitting” a side mirror if you really need something to get upset about. I bet you get half hard looking at your rolling box ^^

          Unpopular opinion: Cars are expensive. Vandalizing them in response to an inconvenience seems like an overreaction.

            It’s symmetrical though. Sort of like a pedestrian risking death if they inconvenience car drivers

              Sure, attempting to murder a pedestrian over an inconvenience is also bad.

              Not sure I’d consider them “symmetrical” though… Maybe I’m being pedantic, but murder seems a lot worse.

              Regardless, both are overreactions, and varying degrees of crazy.

            Cutting the priority to pedestrian isn’t an inconvenience tho. It’s straight up code violation. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to be a priority for the police 🤷🏻

              Oh, I see. It still seems like an overreaction to a code violation though.

            True. However given that they’re the largest “lifestyle” contributor to climate change (as opposed to things in the agricultural sector), vandalizing one in response to it simply existing seems like a slight under reaction, if anything.

        A medal for meritorious public service and right of first refusal to carry out the sentence against the ecocidal narcissists? That’d be a well deserved surprise for any non-carhole who’s been making carholes angry.
