kakerlakatze - DM to follow!ran to cross the pedestrian crossing. light for pedestrians was green and remained green for another 5 seconds after I crossed. Car driver attempted to pass and acted annoyed when I cut in front of him. Felt the urge to kick his car
Luna Lactea@anarceus I need a brick to carry for this situation.
@jackemled I debated yelling but the anger didn't grip me fast enough. Kinda funny how many of my regrets are related to not having expressed anger at a car
@anarceus I got to yell at a guy with a default_Whiteguy_no724 skin & a tesla cybertruck over the weekend. I don't regret it but he immediately turned & drove behind my car in the parking lot so I hope he didn't get a picture of my license plate🗿
@jackemled american road rage terrifies me. from what I gather you offend somebody mildly and they start behaving like a wild boar
@anarceus Someone else had tried to run me over the previous weekend in that same parking lot. They were going slow, saw me walking across the road, & sped up. I guess I looked too gay or something because I did literally nothing & these were old white people.
Americans with road rage are shitty people that get set off by literally nothing. There is zero mental health care infrastructure in this country that isn't ableist or racist pseudoscience & moral education is entirely absent & it really shows by the number of rich or upper middle class people with anger issues & a car.
@jackemled Oh we also have the running over pedestrians for not liking them brain worm here.
sometimes when I'm in a hurry I do run across red pedestrian lights when nobody's coming quick enough/all cars are far enough away that I can dash it, and in one specific city the two times I've done this have both involved an oncoming car going slow flooring it after they saw me.
@anarceus Why do people do this? Do they not know that I'm fully prepared to obliterate their windshield with my body when I'm about to die & have nothing left to lose?
@anarceus I need a large brick.
@jackemled I fear they hope insurance will pay.
I just find it weird that they're gonna try and run me over for neglecting a safety regulation when I would have been out of their way with no issue if they'd just kept on at the pace they were going.
Like I understand I shouldn't be running red lights but also I don't think I deserve car drivers deliberately speeding up at me about it.
