Unfortunately, the onus is disproportionately and frequently on the more vulnerable road user to "take the high road" if you will. Pedestrians, cyclists, motorcycles. Everyone talks about the jaywalker, the douche roadie, and the squid doing something stupid one out of 50,000 times.
Everyone is OK with their own spouse driving their car like an absolutely selfish piece of trash. Normal behavior.
Since that onus is on us though, doesn't change that we shouldn't do what we can.
I have never heard or read about a pedestrian watching another pedestrian do something stupid and say: this makes us all pedestrians look bad! You mostly only hear this about cyclists.
