that happened to me just last night on the moseley road bus lane outside the fried chicken place opposite lidl. as usual, some asshole couldn't contain his/her lust for cheap poultry faces and beaks and had to park outside blocking an entire lane of bus/bike traffic. behind said asshole a family of three was standing in the road waiting to cross.
they see me approaching and move forward. then decide i'm going to fast and move back. then decide it's too late to make the safety of the road and move forward again. cue deft swerve and 'get out of the fucking road you motherfuckers' cry from me.
there are two pedestrian crossings either side of that spot. either use those, or wait on the pavement until there's a gap in traffic! if you do have to dawdle in the middle of traffic, at least have the good grace to behave predictably.
