I've seen at least a couple hundred ppl, in my time living in Calgary, blatantly step out into the street staring right AT the oncoming car(s) and when a driver inevitably has to slam on her/her brakes--these ppl are either flippin' off the driver or screaming that they've got right of way.
It actually freaks me out when I see them do it.. mostly because I'd fear being smoked by some distracted driver or whatever.
