I take the bus about 8 times a week to go see family and the bus i go on goes through some villages and towns, with many cars being impatient and taking the piss with a double decker bus. These bus drivers are pretty calm and just take it because they know if they didn’t, they’d be fired.
So this is where I come in. They don’t know I’m doing it and the bus is fairly empty most of the time.
Oh you parked in the bus stop to do a delivery? 🖕 beeping at the bus because you want to get past? 🖕cutting the bus lane? 🖕 come down the road where cars are blocking your side of the road and drive straight up to a bus with no where to go? You best know your gonna get the 🖕
It’s not much and some don’t see them but the ones who do, know they are dicks because I’m showing them the 🖕to make them aware of their dickish behaviour.
Exactly. I find showing confusion and concern also takes any aggression out of the moment that you’d otherwise escalate by reacting with anger. They go from being angry/douchey/smug to ‘… What? What’s wrong with my car… What???’ and you just go on your merry way.

Another version of this, which I saw in a video (anyone got a link?), is to mimic stepping over a large obstruction in the crosswalk. Drivers will get out to see what’s in the road.

Hahah yes I’ve seen this one! I think that’s a fun prank. My version is definitely, while subtle, more malicious and reserved exclusively for arseholes
