Entitlement. It’s everywhere. I mean, EVERYwhere.

I saw it in Pitman the other day, when some guy got out of his parked car and walked directly across in front of traffic to get into a pizza shop. He looked neither left nor right, just stepped out of his car and walked.

He’s like many other entitled people traipsing the streets these days, on foot or behind the wheel.

This is partly thanks to the onslaught of enforcement of crosswalk laws, I believe. It started in shopping parking lots, where zombie-like beings started walking hither and yon, with the understanding that speed zones, striped crosswalks and imprudently placed Stop signs would protect them from physical harm.
