I almost lost it today: WWTOTD?

I'm preparing to turn right onto a busy 5-lane road (full-sized turning median). I look to my left and it looks reasonably clear. In the median (instead of going to the cross walk 50 yards away) is a young guy anywhere from 17-25.
I politely wave for him to cross over so A.) So I don't hit him while I'm turning right and B.) So he can get over safely.
What does he do? He takes his sweet arse time, attempting to hold his pants up (they were mid-thigh) making zero effort to cross the street in a brisk manner. Keep in mind - he had nothing in his hands.
Of course, by casually taking his sweet arse time, an army of vehicles follow and I have to wait a couple of extra minutes before I can finally make the turn.
I'm not implying you have to dash across like Usaine Bolt, but don't be a dolt. DO NOT BE A DOLT. Our society has worked hard throughout the decades developed decency and societal customs - give a thank you wave when someone lets you over in heavy traffic, hold the door open for an elderly person or someone with their hands full, etc. Don't be a fricking brain-dead piece of shite and try and abide them.
Rant over. What would the OT have done?

Throw my 44 oz Polar Pop at him

I probably would have been annoyed but then been an adult and moved on with my day and not posted about it on the OT.

Get your facts straight. Were you driving drunk?

It sounds like he had the right of way but you sound like you think you were doing him a favor by waving him across.
I guess since you're in your pick-up and someone else is walking or biking, they better respect your mind, because you could 'lose it' and any time and it's your road man they just lucky you let them use it
I bet you cursed the frick out of him under your breath in your truck with the windows up huh?!!! That dude is lucky af you didn't lose it

I've learned the hard way to just follow the rules of the road and not be nice.
Posted on 2/18/17 at 7:17 pm to Forkbeard3777
Probably would have just muttered something under my breath and waited for my next opening.

That's why they say they're the fastest people in the world, until they're in a cross walk.

I would've immediately found the nearest Wendy's, bought a large chocolate frosty, and then found him and douched him with it.

It sounds like he be dolting to his own pre-set, inner metronome.

I wouldve darted straight home to tell the OT through a most captivating post.
Posted on 2/18/17 at 7:39 pm to Forkbeard3777
Would've rolled down my winda and yelled obscenities at him. Every swear word in the book. Hoping to start a fight so I could beat some sense into him. Then I would've gotten back into the truck and went about my merry way.
