yes i do the same, have been rewarded badly till now, nevertheless continue to do so considering i also might be crossing the road someday somewhere and sure would like a car to stop and let the more vulnerable mortal being get to the other side of the street safe.
got hit from the back twice on my bullet, lucky to have survived without anything broken, all my fault was that i stopped to let pedestrians and kids pass. stopped riding then and there and switched to a four-wheeler. just few days back ended up grazing the rear bumper against some stone going to the extreme left to let some walkers do their stuff in the middle of the road.
expect atleast some common sense from people, be courteous and wait for them to pass and people would literally crawl, talking merrily away on their phones in the middle of the road or chatting to one another, testing the patience of the driver who was considerate to them in the first place, ungrateful lot.
but again have learned to wait a few seconds longer, no harm in arriving a little late at my intended destination than arriving too early at some unplanned place.. :-)
