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.

That's exactly what happened to me. I wasn't blocking traffic, but my front wheels were in the crosswalk. Some broad walked behind me, and decided to kick my car because I inconvenienced her by 3 feet.
I just don't understand why people get so upset. Sorry for blocking the intersection, and yes it's my fault, but life is far too short to get that bent out of shape at some random stranger. I would assume it's safer as well, because you never know who or what is in the other car.
