The only reason a person would get stranded in a crosswalk is because they're a crap driver with no clue what is happening around them, eyes focused straight ahead. Morons.

And if someone gave me attitude or threatened me after they were in the wrong blocking off the walkway I wouldn't think twice about punching their hood. You messed up, keep your mouth shut.

That's not my biggest gripe when I'm a pedestrian, at least those cars are stopped. It's the guys who don't even wait for you to get on the sidewalk and zip by you with inches to spare. By far the most dangerous thing a driver can do, just wait until the person is on the sidewalk if you're making a right turn. This isn't New York City and you can spare a couple more seconds.
