THIS! I am disabled and if using a walker (as opposed to my wheelchair) it is SO STRESSFUL to be FORCED to cross the street like that. Simply drive on, there is a very specific reason I do not want to cross the street in front of your vehicle and would rather wait until there are no vehicles and I can cross slowly and safely and without getting stressed out. I have a neuromuscular disease and when this happens my body stiffens and it becomes MORE difficult for me to walk when stressed out and also much more likely to fall, which endangers me further.

My peeve is waiting forever for a stream of cars to pass, and THE VERY LAST ONE slows down for me. If I don't smile and wave thank you it's because I've been waiting two minutes for a clear spot when you come inching up. JUST FUCKING GO! There are no brake lights on the front of your car, and I don't trust you to stop. If you want to be a hero, stop for me when a hundred cars are behind you.

If you are wondering why we drivers are careful, perhaps you haven't seen all the other nutjobs who will just walk into the intersection without looking even against the light. Its a car v you. Be grateful for the extra care. You lose in that collision every time.

Seriously, what the fuck is this. If you don't stop to let them go you're an asshole who, A) doesn't care about the safety of pedestrians or cyclists, or B) is breaking the "law" (it's not btw) by not stopping. Then the same person complains about having to wait for excessive amounts of time. On the other hand, if you do stop, it's putting too much pressure on the pedestrian to go. What kind of pansy ass shit is that. Who cares if you're tired, in a wheelchair, hands full of groceries....it doesn't matter. If you don't want to cross, then don't stand at the crossing. Responsibility is a two way street - if a vehicle can reasonably come to a stop then they should, and equally, at that time the person prompting that behavior should engage and make the crossing. You can't have it both ways.

If you don’t want a car to stop don’t stand near the intersection. Problem solved.

What George said. MOVE AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION.
