They will start walking across a four lane road...no crosswalk....no pedestrian access....while seeing me approaching from about 50 yards away. By the time I get to the point where they are crossing illegally...they KEEP GOING....right in front of me so I have to stop or slow down to about 4mph!! No wave of thank you...no look of "oops..sorry"...nothing. I have raised my hands in the car and given them a look like "what is your problem...are you nuts"....and they just look back like..."I dare you to hit me".This happens to me at least three times a month in various locations. Same ethnicity...same basic scenario. These people often do the same thing in parking lots....just walk right down the middle of the parking lot....no need to walk to the side like a normal human being.
Oh well.
Now my interest is really piqued...what is the specific ethnicity?
I want to know which folks I should pay attention to.
The ones with one hand out and the other reaching for their EBT card?
