While I never did something like that as a middle finger to the grown-ups in fancy cars, I did it as an angry pedestrian one night upset because the sidewalks next to a five lane one-way street were peppered with "Sidewalk closed, cross to other side" signs forcing me to keep crossing the very large street with lots of high speed traffic. What pushed me over the edge was a point at which the sidewalks on both sides of the street were closed and both that arrows pointing to the other side as where pedestrians should go. I was upset with the city government for allowing so many sidewalk segments to be closed and for whoever approved of both sides being closed at the same time, both the signs instructing pedestrians to use the other side.
