Last week I was traversing downtown during lunch hour. One of the lights had a stupid amount of traffic, so even though I had a green, I didn't enter the intersection because I coldn't get all the way through, and didn't want to be that dickhead that ends up stranded in the intersection and blocks the perpendicular traffic. Alas, I still ended up being a dickhead because I was blocking the crosswalk. I basically had pedestrians walking in front and behind my truck (yeah, it was pretty bad), and not one of them even glared at me. I had my apologetic-palms-up-cringe all ready to go and didn't have to use it.
