Happens all the time in a couple of places I regularly drive.

I'm sitting patiently at a red for a minute or 2 and I notice the pedestrian who's been standing at a red crosslight for 5 seconds getting impatient. As soon as my lights about to go green they step in front and slowly and illegally cross which screws everyone who is 3 or more cars back because they then miss the light and have to wait for another cycle.

When my lights about to go green and I can see a ped about to cross, I slowly roll forward as a hint to them to not cross in front, but they usually still do anyway.

Wouldn't be a big deal if it only happened to me every few weeks, but it happens several times a week to me.
I put a crazy loud horn in. No little toots for people doing the wrong thing....
