Cars are getting out of Hand (self.fuckcars)

When I take my bike to school, there are those "School Crossing Guards." One of them guards a 2 line drive in.

This man uses his STOP sign on pedestrians. Here I am cycling, this guy holds his STOP sign up high so I am like "ok, I can go right across at full speed without breaking or slowing down." turns out no, what he actually meant was that all pedestrians (up to 5 people sometimes) should stop and the car should drive. 50% of the time in the car is a friend of his who stops in the middle of the crosswalk and starts chatting. I look and this and go like "my classes start in 10 minutes, so I am crossing." They both, he and his friend look at me like I am some self harm guy jumping under a car, and start shouting at me like why I am going when the STOP sign is up.

This is seriously getting out of hand.

PS: I drive my bike on the sidewalk.
