Default Re: Walking on streets!

Creatures of habit? Since many places here don't have sidewalks, it becomes habit to be on the golf cart paths. Also, many areas only have sidewalks on one side of the street. If you're walking the opposite direction, you'd have to cross the street to get to the sidewalk -- maybe just a tad too much walking for their taste?

What I want to know is why they walk the same direction as traffic, have buds in their ears and thus can't even hear when something is coming up behind them and then get mad at the driver for asking them to move over when there is too much traffic to get around them.
