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.

Re: Pedestrian etiquette
I hate people who saunter while jaywalking. I don't care if they're jaywalking and I don't mind much if I have to slow down a little, but if I have to slow down a lot while you move your slow ass across the street, then you're asking to get hit.
