And if I don't have time to get across before the light changes, I wait (most of our intersections offer a countdown).
Or the adults that cross *against* a do not walk sign who take their time, and then give an obscene gesture to cars who were (legitimately) trying to get through (but not in any way being threatening). I've observed this too many times as a pedestrian. If only all people could follow basic, common courtesy.
