Call me crazy, but the purpose of a crosswalk seems generally consistent across the globe - namely, for people to cross the street via walking. Yet many drivers appear not to have received the memo.

Flush with payday cash, Absolute power is mine. Socks, coffee, to me! It's nice to be able to afford these little luxuries again. Maybe I should go full decadent and get some avocado toast at a café, inspiring another half-dozen think pieces about entitled millenials.
