I get both yours and @hugo7 points. Yeh just take your time on residential streets, but some people are just pricks - like Fidough’s dad - or behave like pricks because they’re in the ravages of puberty or life has dealt them the worst possible hand.
A contrasting take from me. We live on 1-way road that is busy for about 30mins twice a day, in the rush hours. There are traffic lights at one end, so the cars are very slow or stopped. Do drivers let me cross to the shops or do I need to force the issue by stepping out, have a guess?
Some are selfish wankers; I think most are just terribly clueless.

Was it a residential street? Remember you are a guest and a child, dog or pet rabbit could run out at any moment. Were there privately owned vehicles parked on the carriageway? If there were the pedestrian would have been in your path for much longer than if they weren’t. Every time your progress is slowed by a parked car I hope you post about it somewhere etc etc ;)
