People who cross the road (usually busy roads) 10 yards before or after a PEDESTRIAN CROSSING .... THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE THERE FOR.

Ive thought long and hard about this infuriating issue, although I still have to press that this annoying way of speaking is still not on a par with starting sentences with 'so'.
I think it is a PR manufactured strategy to counter very thick people, mostly sportspersons, being interviewed and asked questions that they are too thick to think about and answer. A lot of questions they get posed are trick ones ton fair to them, designed to catch a soundbite.
The result is that PR people have coached them to listen, take a breath and think about it and give the stock answer they are provided to give. 'No, yeah. Of course, yeah. No, listen..." is a way to bring that pause and reset people with a microphone stuck in front of them. *
People have seen it and began mimicking it, and it has seeped into culture as these things do.
*I know this because I was talking to a bloke from ITV Wales who is on a sub to coach the Welsh sports teams how to engage with the media. So ignore everything I said above because its regurgitated and this is the actual answer.

People who press the button at light controlled pedestrian crossings when there's no traffic coming. And then wait for the green light.

Or...I've pressed the button and am waiting, then somebody else comes along and presses the button again. Do they imagine I've been stood there and not pressed it?

When TV journalists are interviewing someone who starts to get upset and emotional, instead of backing off, the camera moves in closer. I wonder if the interviewer was hoping that might happen, "Makes good telly"
I hate that, poor women/bloke trying to hold it together, then questioned even more, bastardo trick, as you say to makes good telly, poor person is devestated and the interviewer doesn't really give 2 shites
