i hate when I'm walking and a car pauses to let me go first. just go! i don't want to fake jog so you can feel polite

Same here. These people take a perfectly normal situation and make it less predictable. What about the traffic behind them? Will somebody just pass them and kill me on the other lane? Will they really stop in the first place? What about my grandma and her wheelchair bound friend? Can they go to? Just move along and let me decide when it's fine for me to cross the road.
