bad vibes
Honestly considering carrying a brick around with me to see if people still want to cut me off at zebra crossings. Had a dude turn his head to stare at me while he nearly ran me over at a crossing and then he had the audacity to give me the 'thanks' hand wave...Every single day I go outside I nearly get ran over, but it's always at crossings and not when I'm jaywalking. Pisses me off so much.
A brick or a stick honestly isn't a bad idea. The cops would probably get arcy if they saw you carrying a real brick, but I was reading a thread where someone else was saying the same thing in a different community the other day and apparently there's like collapsible type bricks that you can fold out to full size. If you were to keep that in your backpack and pull it out around the corner from the crossings that always give you trouble, it'd probably still achieve the same thing, with the added affect nobody's going to start accusing you of breaking into people's houses
This happens to me at the one in Coburg near the Coles all the time! I get pedestrian rage ๐ก
