Every time I drive in SF, I expect something like this to happen at every light or stop sign. Thankfully, most pedestrians DGAF.

As a city commuter I sometimes get stuck in a crosswalk. Don't take it so personally.

As a reasonable driver, who presumably read/knows road laws, you have no reason to ever be stuck in a crosswalk.

I don't think it's illegal to walk over a vehicle stopped on the crosswalk

But depending on how much of a cockhole the person driving said vehicle is they might try to start some shit if you do it.

Not letting people walk all over you doesn't always mean a social justice context. Interpersonal conflict exists.

8 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Yeah. Gotta deal with the occasional cunt too. Don't give the dicks all the attention.

8 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Surely dealing with dicks in a way that helps them see they're the initial dick in the scenario is the optimal method

8 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 7

I mean otherwise dicks are just going to continue to be dicks.

8 years ago | Likes 12 Dislikes 2

But if you act like a dick to teach the dick, you're just adding a dick to the pool of dicks you took a dick out of.

8 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 2

Better to act a dick to teach a dick knowing that was your purpose than to leave a dick to be a dick and have done nothing.

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

But if you do it to multiple dicks, the net amount of dicks will be lower. You'll still just be one dick.

If you slammed your breaks you were speeding. The lights are designed to by amber long enough that you can break in time.

I'm not a dumbass. If I see that people are braking 3 cars up then I hold back to avoid being in intersection when light changes...

8 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Then you should know to stop before the crosswalk. You've already ran the red at this point since you're past the stopping point.
