I try not to get irritated, but why do people do that? Is it a control thing for some people? Or perhaps for some people they have no clue?

I live in a town with a high number of seniors, they just can't walk any faster so maybe I have built up a tolerance level. Besides the few extra seconds I have to wait is not going to make or break my day. The ones that really bug me are the jay walkers. They walk out into oncoming traffic and then saunter across the road forcing traffic to stop. A crosswalk I respect, these people are just a nuisance and they are the ones who are the control freaks.

Because they are complete self centred *****. I work at a University and pedestrian traffic drives me nuts. Go ahead, take your time...I got nothing else to do but wait for your lazy as$ to get out of the way, except maybe so that I can get behind the damn city bus that drives 30 Km/h. and then decides to stop on a two lane road to have a smoke during rushhour..
Thanks alot..I feel better now that I have vented a little. Have a nice day.

Do all pedestrians do that to all drivers in traffic? Doubtful. Everybody has someplace to be. Everybody is in their own "zone" and nobody thinks about the other people outside that zone. Think about it. You're in a hurry and need to turn or get through an intersection and all you think about is the people who are in your way. Maybe they have a lot on their minds, maybe they are taking a quick break away from work and just want to chill out a little bit, maybe they're taking a phone call from someone who's important to them, maybe they are having the worst day of their life and don't even see you. Or maybe they are just being jerks. Everybody needs to develop a little more patience and courtesy--Everybody.

some people are very inconsiterate. All people are not guilty of this. At least i'm not. I am not going to run across but i try and walk fast. If they stop to let me through, i want to try and pay them my respect. I get very irritated too. All i can say is let them go across the street in a pouring rain, that way they will hurry

Have you ever considered that many people who don't own a car have to walk everywhere and they are dead tired, try to do that just for one day and you will no longer complain about people walking slowly in a cross walk. There are also people who are handicapped and can not walk very fast and the elderly. Have some compassion and kindness for others.

"let" "cuz i'm not letting absolutely everyone else bypass!" At a bypass walk - what state? that could not a case of "letting" it fairly is the regulation in lots of states that pedestrians have the superb of way in a crosswalk and some abuse it. on the distinctive hand, some human beings gained't have the means to bypass quicker. Thank the Lord you may walk without delay, i can't have the means to to any quantity further.

Not counting the people that do it because they have no choice (old, invalid, pregnant etc), the rest, although they don't have to run of course, they should show some consideration for the rest of the street users. Otherwise they should stay at home the B@$#@&ds ! Or go to a park for a leasurely stroll.

Looks like I am a minority here. The roads belong to both pedestrians and vehicles. They can go at any speed they want to. Think about it. They waited their turn at the stop light. So it's your turn to wait for them. Personally, I hurry to let the cars go. But I do it only out of courtesy. I don't expect anyone else to do the same for me. It would be nice but not necessary. We all share the roads.

It is the only way these little twits can have authority to push others around and they know you can't do a thing to them. Like little napoleons that are unable to control anything in their life's from family to jobs.

Some of us have a medical condition which precludes gazelle-like movements.
As a driver, you should learn more tolerence of other road users. Intolerance causes accidents
