Having said that, they really annoy me!
Really annoy me too .. I have had a couple of phone users walk straight off kerb into path of car I was driving, after I screeched to a halt one raised their hand in thanks, the other ( about 14 or so I would guess ) raised their middle finger - wow, could have been in shock I guess. In an ideal world we would all be able to leave our cars and houses unlocked and the doors open, but try explaining that to insurance after you have been robbed..

Although 99% of people are law abiding and respect others rights and understand the whole property thing, there are still more than enough bad folks around to catch out the unwary or simply stupid people.
