I still have issues with architects or environment planners – issue is very simple and common "path around buildings and in whole neighborhood". Then they were planning infrastructure did they walked in paths they draw? I think they didn't, because design and user experience is totally different.
After long and hard bug hunting day and evening in gym, I want to go home as fast as I could, so I am walking in the shortest distance, that means that I need go over paths that are not tiled (don't know correct term and to lazy to search more). My shoes gets dirty or dusty, depends on weather, and if I am correct, I am passing private property. But I am not only one like this, big part of neighborhood is using same path.
Same things can be seen in my work too. Sometimes feels like designs are engineered, not created for ordinary users to be used. So users if they must use software – they starts to find work around(s) or use products in unexpected ways. Good example from my experience – people better change error message text then registers bugs and waits for fix. Sounds strange, but I sow is at least several times, how 'must use' software becomes people imagination drawing board to make life easier. Like a path I walking daily. I wasn't first who walked there, but I am one of users.

I put away this post for a day, tried to give some time to sink in, maybe I could think for solution to this stuff, but I can't. Can I register bug for neighborhood flows? I don't thinks so. I can walk on paths which are designed for it, but doing so will cause me wasting my time of relaxing...
So I will keep struggling on same issues and will do nothing about it, like most of us. And I will try to get most of it – come back home faster, even if my shoes are dirty...
