When someone stops for you at a crosswalk do you…

Moonwalk

I have noticed that most drivers today have zero idea that a no light crosswalk is a stop sign if pedestrians are present. You are taking your life into your hands walking across one if there isn't a light there.

Pick up the pace a bit? Do you add a quick wave?

I also give them a nod to let them know what they did was appreciated.
I'll also wait before crossing if I see them coming I don't want to be the cause of slowing anyone up.

The old Broussard Hall athletic dorm crossing conundrum. Say 2 LSU basketball players are walking across, not only do they stare at you without expression as they cross, but they measurably slow their pace. Whereas as 50-year-old man might speed up and wave. It tells you a lot about who they are and how they view you..

I usually flip them off for not going faster..

Both

I wave them through so they can walk across

I do, because it is the polite thing to do.

But not everyone is polite. Some even seem to slow down and never acknowledge you -- almost like it is an entitlement.

I'm a little hobbled right now with recovering from ankle fusion surgery and not getting around nearly as fluidly as I normally would. If on my feet for a while I'm either in a walking boot or on crutches to get around.

I've had folks in cars stop for me to make my way into stores from the parking lots or let me cross a street and to show my appreciation for their thoughtfulness I'll give them a wave of appreciation or a quick "Thank You".
