Greetings from Athens, Greece,
A city with no sidewalks, no bicycle routes, lots of car traffic everywhere and awful public transport.
I was walking with my sister today and she found me walking in the middle of the street dangerous. So, I explained that this is my way of fucking with drivers. They have to slow down and wait for me to make way for them to pass me.
I usually do this in the neighbourhood streets where drivers usually are not speeding, so I will be able to dodge them in time if I need to.
All this discussion got me wondering what else I could be doing.
I was wondering what other methods people are employing. So, how are you fucking cars? Are you organized? Are you a rogue individual?

Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck now
I push the crossing button to force the red light for cars, even when I don’t need to cross.
My favorite part of daily walking / train / bike share commute is using a particular mid block crosswalk with flashing lights to stop 4 lanes of traffic at rush hour.
It’s like walking on red carpet
Great idea!! I love how unnecessary it is, I will start doing it!!
That sounds like an incredibly silly thing to do. You are more likely to get yourself injured than have any affect on the prevalence of cars.
Not really trying to make a change, I am just pissed.
To be honest, I never really had anything close to a scare. Children could be walking around, and thankfully drunk driving is not that common here.
When I do drive, I follow the rules of the road exactly. People have commented on the fact that I actually come to a complete stop at stop signs, and didn’t turn right in front of a crossing pedestrian.
