That when one spends the time out in the freezing cold, shoveling and snow blowing the "slickwalks" and driveways, that people actually walk through the yard instead of where one takes the time to clear the snow?

The mailperson doesn't walk in places that I've cleared for them either. I give the meter reader a pass since there's not a "slickwalk" or driveway leading up to the meter.
