I also crowd into the crosswalk line if I'm the first to a stoplight. Cars seem to be happier if they can get right up to the stop line, and they can trip the light. Plus it gives me a head start through the intersection. And I "take the lane" (even though I'm in the crosswalk) so my big ol' tushie is RIGHT in front of them. They can see me just fine and they don't make a right-hand turn over the top of me.
