To be honest I would just not. I have no interest. I don't wish to engage and I don't wish to make a spectacle of engaging.

I guess assuming I had like 30 seconds before security knocked me out I would like to think I'd say "be kind" but if someone had pissed me off on the way to this excursion (likely -- realistically as well as for the comedic relief) i'd be just as likely to admonish everyone "can you please just like, get in the turn lane when you know you're going to be turning? instead of throwing your blinker on and cruising in the middle lane?"

or something something something won't be equal until nine female supreme court justices something something idk depends on how enraged i am and about what at that moment but i can promise i'm not going to be able to succinctly express what i mean to in a way that will make a difference to the crowd, no matter what. and i wouldn't trust it if i could.

Some people like the performance arts and power to them. I never liked recitals when I studied music.

I like the “eventual left turn” blinker comment. My guess is you might likely get more people to make a positive change with reminders of common courtesy. We could all use some more of that going around.
