Don’t bully anyone in traffic.
I bully car drivers in traffic. If a car is stopped in the middle of the pedestrian crossing I give the hood a bang with my hand as I pass. But honestly anyone who drives a car deserves to be made fun of.
If you touched someone’s private property because you don’t like where it’s currently stopped it says more about you then them.
Stopping in the middle of pedestrian crossings is illegal. The car is using a public road, and not following the social contract. I think drivers who behave that way should forfeit their cars.
You and everyone else break the law a dozen times a day so don’t get pedantic.
I break the law in prosocial ways. Stopping in pedestrian crossings is antisocial. I'm physically abled, but what if someone with a wheelchair or a walker needs to cross? They can't do that if there's a car in the way. The strong have an ethical duty to protect the weak from the strong. If I was a better person, I'd be spitting on the cars instead of just annoying the drivers with a tap.
Being a public nuisance is also illegal, as is property damage.
The driver in this imaginary scenario is a real dickhead, but you're also a massive twat.
Whatever makes you feel like a badass and helps you forget you're just a normal asshole.
