Maybe I shouldn’t tell you guys this, but sometimes I press the button even if I don’t have to cross the street. Also sometimes I cross the street really slowly, drivers get especially mad about that. Obviously I’m not from the US, since I’m still alive.
My dad aways makes a remark when someone crosses tge street slowly. He’s fat and slow as gell himself. I don’t understand how you can get mad at sghit like that.
Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m talking about.
Carbrained psychopaths look a people crossing the street and think: How dare they make me wait a few seconds longer. I’ll fucking hit them with my car.
And they think that’s a proportinal response. It’s just deeply sick and twisted.
…on purpose, just to cause a reaction. You missed that bit.
When i’m driving vehicles i have to qualms waiting for elderly or disabled people to cross the street, regardless of whether or not the crosswalk has a light.
Dipshits intentionally walking slow just to piss me off deserve to piss off someone who gets out of the car and demonstrates their discontent in a more direct manner.
If you want to label dislike for lack of civility as being a psychopath so you can feel better about yourself be my guest.
I’m going to walk slowly in front of three cars just because you made this post. It’s the only reasonable response to your lack of civility.
Seriously, you’re advocating getting physical with someone because of a perceived lack of civility — literally walking too slow. I drive almost everywhere, have done so for decades, and this is not a problem I’ve had, even once in my life. If “people walking too slowly in front of your car” is a regular problem for you, you may need to cultivate more patience. You have lost the plot. You sound like you are the problem in this social interaction.
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.
You don’t even need to cause any damage or even leave a fingerprint and they get so angry. Its kinda funny.
I see so much road rage, but usually from extended family so I try not to start an argument that will lead to someone storming off in a strop. I find it funny that an adult can get so angry, but it upsets my partner.
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…
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 ^^
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 🤷🏻
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.
Nah, you got it all wrong. I don’t punish them, I do them a favor. They mabe don’t know it, but it’s good for them if they stop occasionally.
On the other hand, they punish me, every day of every week. They punish me with pollution and noise and concrete and traffic accidents and oil consumption and heat radiation.
Deciding what is good for random strangers and then forcing them to enjoy whatever it is you came up with doesn’t sound like very good idea.
And how is this helping your situation? Breaking and accelerating increases noise and pollution. If cars have to spend more time on the street instead of being at their destination, they either need more road space or they spend more time in traffic jams that, again, increase noise and pollution. Cars are the least likely to be involved in accidents when they are cruising, so you are also making your city less safe.
Just to be clear: I’m absolutely in favour of banning cars in cities, but you are making the already bad situation worse for everyone.
Yeah, I guess I’m a litte bit accelerationist(1) with my take here.
But the situation will not change if drivers have it more comfortable.
There is so much violence in driving a car, and you argue against me because I make them stop for 20 seconds.
(Inner)Cities should not be build for cruising. They should be build for pedestrians. If you want to cruise, drive on the Autobahn or some Umfahrungsstraße.

(1) DuckDuckGo translated accelerationist with beschlagnaderungsorientiert. Since you german speaking I thought you might enjoy this.
You misunderstand me. I agree that being a pedestrian or cyclist should be more convenient and safer, and I don’t care if that means car drivers are inconvenienced by whatever it is that needs to be done to achieve that goal.
But you are inconveniencing car drivers while also making the situation worse for pedestrians, cyclists and everyone else. What you are doing has no positive effects for anyone, except maybe you feeling righteous for a moment.

“beschlagnaderungsorientiert” sounds like a dangerous words from the funniest joke in the world.

I never cross the street slowly… but I never hurry, either, and even that annoys some car drivers 😭😂
Crossing suuuper slowly when there’s a suv waiting is my fav, especially when the driver didn’t want me to cross
My dad aways makes a remark when someone crosses tge street slowly. He’s fat and slow as gell himself. I don’t understand how you can get mad at sghit like that.
I know you meant to write ‘slow as hell’ but ‘fat and slow as gel’ brought up a mental image that fits the scene.
Movement speed of a gelatinous cube is like 3 squares per turn. It’s slow as hell!
Perhaps you’ll change your mind next time a side mirror hits you because you thought you were on a catwalk.
Fucking drivers thinking they can assualt people with their cars becase they’ve been inconvenienced
Yeah. That’s exactly what I’m talking about. Carbrained psychopaths look a people crossing the street and think: How dare they make me wait a few seconds longer. I’ll fucking hit them with my car.

You don’t get to hit them though.
Thanks for adding more evidence to support my central thesis: good people don’t drive cars.

Until someday you’ll get a well deserved surprise.
You’re an actual psychopath and you should be locked away before you kill someone
Lol, if touching a side mirror gets you that angry you need to look in a mirror and think about whats wrong with you.

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
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 🤷🏻

Mirrors are so breakable…
Why though, people have places to go and public transport might not be available to them. You’re punishing people for their lack of choices
Nah, you got it all wrong. I don’t punish them, I do them a favor. They mabe don’t know it, but it’s good for them if they stop occasionally.
On the other hand, they punish me, every day of every week. They punish me with pollution and noise and concrete and traffic accidents and oil consumption and heat radiation.

Are drivers not deciding and then forcing people to “enjoy” their cars ? ^^
No, they don’t drive their cars because they think it’s good for you, they drive them because they think it’s good for them.
Depends on the context I think, if you use even though you don’t need to then it’s a choice for you and people around you
But you are still driving your car because it benefits you. Nobody thinks they are helping others by driving through a busy city center.
