I lean more toward the entitled theory than geographical. This is but one example of many ways a precious (and I used that word on purpose) few around here somehow believe, in their own minds, that where they are going, how they are getting there, or what they are going for is of utmost importance and you, me (the rest of us) are just secondary and in the way. I believe it is a very small minority but stand out in a major way due to the attitude and behavior. You see it in retail and grocery stores, you see it in parking lots, restaurants, etc. The worse part is, these very same precious few have managed to raise a new generation that are even more special, precious, and entitled. Sometimes people make mistakes, they get distracted and they don't see you. But there are plenty of instances where they clearly look right at you, see you coming, and then proceed as if you are supposed to know they are late for a tee time, dinner, appointment and, darn it, you are supposed to somehow know that and yield to their haste.
