Tester has it in one. The other morning I was driving down an affluent street. Guy with two massive matching expensive bread dogs walked slowly and diagonally across the road. He took the most acute angle to prevent me from passing for the longest possible time for having the temerity of driving down his street.
Obviously you can say he has the right to walk on the road and as a pedestrian he has priority. Maybe dealing with trees and lamp posts with two gigantic dogs is a faff and the road is easier. But that's not it is it? Not really. It's the same as the hoodied up teen I let cross the road the other day who for the last third reduced their walking pace to a crawl.
I'm not particularly exercised by it. At least with the teen they're at the age where you do that sort of thing and it's part of your development. The dog guy is just sad.
