Pedestrian etiquette
People should learn to stay wide right when walking around a blind corner so as to avoid those awkward "ooops, I'm sorry" face to face bumps/encounters (unless, of course, that person is a hottie).

Re: Pedestrian etiquette
I hate when people are crossing the street and know you are sitting there waiting for them, but they still walk diagonally rather than straight across so it takes twice as long.

People walking with earphones, or the cellphone can be a nuisance.

The same people walk right down the middle of the parking lot row while you're trying to get to a parking spot or exit the lot.

Re: Pedestrian etiquette
For some reason, people in and around U. City walk in the middle of the road. I don't mean crossing the street. I mean they'll walk the same direction of traffic in the middle of the road. It's especially bad when it rains or snows, but it happens in dry times as well. The worst part is that there are sidewalks literally 5 to 10 feet away from where they're walking.
It drives me crazy and I don't understand the logic behind it at all. I'm all in favor of pedestrians having the right of way, but walking several blocks in the middle of the road is just crazy and dangerous.
