The crosswalk incident that got me yelling at the driver a few weeks ago was when I pulled up to a street crossing on the Minutemen Bikeway, and slowed to a stop at the crosswalk, right before getting onto the road; I have a stop sign there, the rule is not ambiguous. As I'm stopping, a guy in a convertible on the other side of the road stops suddenly before the crosswalk. Now, I've had too many encounters with the drivers who do this where I try to wave them through and they just sit there that I've just given up on that, and have adopted the "if you stop, I go" rule. So, he's at a complete stop, and I cross in front of him. At which point he yells "there's a stop sign!" We had words.
