<p>another prime example of this seems to be the mono-dimensional thort patterns of pedestrians in stellenbosch who will be walking along the pavement, possibly talking to a friend or messaging on their phone or vibing by themself and then they come to a road intersection and without fail just walk&#8230;</p>
<p>none of that left, right, left stuff we were taught as kids&#8230; and especially people with kids&#8230; it is bizarrely confounding &#8211; do you live in stellenbosch and have you observed this? do you live somewhere else and think your pedestrains are as monumentally stupid and death wishical (they&#8217;re not!) as ours?</p>
<p>arrive at intersection, walk&#8230; cars must wait, no thort of impending death or the possibility of a vehicle much bigger and heavier (most times) than you&#8230;</p>
<p>and i don&#8217;t think i can make my last point, cos it is a point of race (in terms of my observation experience) but i am wondering if it is possibly a point more of wealth/education/upbringing and context that makes the people who do this the people who do this&#8230;</p>
<p>[and normally i am very observant when it comes to driving but the other night on the highway when three different okes ran across in three different places, i honestly don&#8217;t think i would have spotted the one running closest in front of me who kinda got deer-scared in my headlights if it had not been for tbV pointing him out and that could have had a very bad ending]</p>
<p>your thorts on shtupidt pedestrian type people? i really do think it&#8217;s specifically a stellenbosch thing [and interestingly enuff it is not drunk students for the most part &#8211; most of the cars are gone by the time they head home] </p>
