I try very hard to not affect drivers in a negative way. Once they have stopped for me, I ride across, as this gets me out of their way quite a bit sooner, and is MUCH less annoying for me.

I won't get pissy when I get in your way (I try not to do that in the first place). I will get pissy when drivers don't obey their rules (the simple ones like stopping before the crosswalk or sidewalk) or don't even look to see if there are pedestrians or cyclists before flying through a crosswalk in a merge lane.
I understand what you do, and I wasn't picking on you, just venting a little
