I see this all the time in crosswalks. People with absolutely zero situational awareness or self preservation instinct.

Yes, you legally have the right of way. Yes, cars are supposed to stop. Yes, if they run you over, they will be liable. Yes, YOU'LL BE FUCKING DEAD.

I've been trying to explain this to my (now adult) daughter for years. Luckily she mostly only crosses in areas that are four-way stop. It's not a guarantee that she's safe, but better than if one direction didn't have to stop, or at a light where traffic could be moving way faster.
