> stopping their cars in crosswalks

Wow, I HATE that. I'm trying not to be such a negative person who gets bugged by every little thing, but I don't think I'll ever get used to people who stop their cars in the crosswalk. I have to use crosswalks all the time, and there's nothing more annoying than some jerk who stops his car (or her - jerks are equal-opportunity) with the hood - or, sometimes, if he's even more of a MORON BONEHEAD IDIOT-FACE, the entire front half of his car - completely blocking my walking path, making me have to step out into the street where there are CARS RUSHING BY AT EIGHTY THOUSAND MILES A SECOND, just so he can be the first one to peel out into the street when the light turns green for him. I always think it would be appropriate for me to hop onto his hood and continue walking across in the crosswalk along his car, but I think most of the people who stop in the crosswalk would hit the horn or, worse, the gas pedal if I were to do such a thing. But they're idiots anyway.
