Oooh one of my pet peeves too. Why do some drivers assume that pedestrians do not count when it comes to indicating?

I also get miffed with drivers who wave pedestrians across in front of them, not taking into account that there are other cars on the road coming from other directions. I was waiting for the green man at a pelican crossing the other day when a driver stopped (his lights were green and I still had the red man in front of me) and glared at me for not crossing. I pointed at the red man. He shrugged his shoulders and mouthed something which looked like " ******* please yourself" just as a car came round the corner and right in front of me. I smiled at him and pointed to the car under the wheels of which I would then have been if I'd taken any notice of him.
