Not a lot of traffic on the road but I let DS press the button anyway because we never know whether there'll be a boy racer speeding round the corner.
Could see a coach on opposite side trying to overtake a cyclist before the crossing, but it couldn't before the lights change and eventually stopped at red light, but the cyclist carried on. As we crossed, I smiled and made eye contact to let her know she would've collided with us if she she'd gone any further. She eventually stopped but when we'd crossed in good time and she pedalled off again, she started shouting about how we should've hurried up and gotten out of her way.
I felt like shouting back at her but I
a) didn't want to distract her in what was obviously a difficult situation and
b) didn't want to demonstrate as bad an example to DS as she had done, especially as he is autistic
so I just said "that lady was very rude" to DS and left it at that.
Although she didn't have to let the coach overtake at the lights, she might as well have let him go on first after we'd crossed as he would've only tried it on further down the road anyway.
I don't think I'm being YABU but this isn't so much of a rant as wanting to get it off my chest - thought I'd risen above it when it happened last night but still find myself thinking about it now.
What do you think?
