    First time? Just open the rear door, get inside snugle to the left, open door, exit. Leave the doors open for the next person, while your buddy walks right over the hood.

    Jokes aside, been guilty of this quite a few times. Sorry about that. In my defence, this was almost always due to a senile intersection design.

      I don’t think op is complaining about blocking the cross walk itself but on the phone while blocking the cross walk which is wild. Everyone gets that you need to block like half or not most of the cross walk when you are trying to get out of someone where in America.

        The issue I have in the US is that, in Minnesota at least, the only reason to move into a crosswalk is to turn right on red however you’re supposed to stop at the crosswalk before proceeding across it and almost nobody does.

        Edit: Also, happy cake day!

          Yeah and there are a lot of places where you can’t see at all unless you are in the cross walk.

          Thank you!

      I usually hop up on their hood and walk across it, or give their trunk a loud smack as I walk past idiots like this.
