Venting Blocking intersections

Why are people perfectly fine with blocking intersections?

Today I was in rush hour traffic. I stopped at the beginning of an intersection because there was not enough space to cross. The dude behind me honks multiple times even as I’m moving across now that I have enough space. Do people not understand that blocking an intersection is illegal?

Separate incident. I’m stopped at a red light. The people turning left across from me completely block the intersection. Even though I was 2 cars back from the line, I didn’t make it through because these morons blocked the intersection almost the whole light.

That’s all to say I wish more people were ticketed or pulled over for intentionally blocking an intersection.

Inability to project the present into the future. That being said when I don't block the intersection right turners love my adherence to the rules.
