answer:It’s not just parking lots. More and more people seem unaware of what is around them. Not concerned how they may be affecting others, blocking others. In parking lots and on the road in general it is a real safety issue though. I know pedestrians have right of way, but if you are dead, who cares that you had the right of way. I said to someone recently that “these kids were never taught to make sure the driver makes eye contact with them before crossing.” The person had no idea what I was talking about. Honestly, the majority of the time people are doing the right thing, but it happens enough that people seem to be oblivious that it is noticeable.
