when I was cycling up an empty Kingsway Road in the middle of the day, all the light was green and quite up ahead what look like hundreds of pedestrians crossing the road despite the red walking light, and more than half of them seen me, but carry on walking sporadically in a "should I cross? do I have enough time before he get here? should I wait?" and ended up with a bizarre labyinth of people, within 10 metres after weaving left and right trying to find the best line to get through safety but in the end when I can't find a line due to people moving sporadically, I screamed "OH FOR FUCK SAKE!", and they run back to the pavement in embarrassement.
pissed me off as well, it would be a hypocrite if I did the same as a pedestrians, thought I'm more aware of the surrounding due to obvious reason.
