One time when I jaywalked in NYC I could have sworn that a cab, who was a half block away, accelerated when he saw me crossing the street. My impression has always been that people hate having their time wasted.

They do. This is why pedestrians jaywalk to begin with. Can't be bothered to have their time wasted by the law.
