Exactly. I drive and watch people hover on the sidewalk, clearly intending to enter the crosswalk, but not making that move. I stop whenever I even so much as think someone might cross. I stop and sometimes they turn instead of crossing. Whatever, doesn’t matter, it’s two seconds. But it seems like everyone else on the road can’t be bothered.

And so it’s because of that that I just walk into the road. And I should say into the road, but not into the travel lane, per se, because I don’t actually want to get hit, I got kids, and it would be a stupid funeral if “Dad died doing what he loved, being an idiot.”
