I try and say. "Please look before you cross the road" in a annoyed but non yelling voice.
I don't always do this, but when I do the stress passes quicker, and is any escalation occurs observers are always on the calmer persons side.
Lastly we are all pedestrians and while we (as a go up i.e cyclists) may be better behaved than most (when we ourselves are pedestrian due to a higher level of empathy towards other road users) I am sure we all still sometimes walk out in a silly manor. I know I have done, and defiantly when I have had some drinks.
Glad nothing serious happened.
It is annoying.
But just try and chill.

I must try and do this more also.
