Yes we all know him and he is very VERY noticable especially to the passengers in front of him. You can not help but thinking WHAT THE HECK IS THAT??!!?? and stepping to the side and for the people on the cart they always have smiles on their faces..

I love it when they say "Mind the cart". You turn around and have milliseconds to dive out of the way before a 1000 pound electric cart slams into you.
One time I didn't move fast enough and my laptop bag strap got caught on the cart. Pulled me for about 10 feet. My wife traveling with me was paralized with laughter since I just told her I call EWR my second home. She said "doesnt look like your roommates like you very much".

Question for you frequent flyers....
Are there other airports where there are as many carts that seem to be racing around IAH? I just never seem to notice near as many when transiting other airline hubs....And when i do, they certainly aren't saying "Cart coming through, excuse the cart, or cccaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrttttttt."

Kinda reminds me of my feeble attempt to get my pilot's license. (ran out of time and, mostly, money) My first instructor taught me that when you yell "clear" to make sure nobody will get nailed by the prop, you really have to bark it out.
For the past thirty odd years I've worked in packaging plants. Before we turn a machine I'll holler out CLEAR!!!! and nobody is gonna miss hearing it.
So, if this cart driver is barking out Caaaaarrrrrrttttt! although annoying, at least he has folks attention.
On a totally unrelated note... this past winter we were out driving in the evening. My wife turns to me and says, "Dear...... Deaaaaaar.... Deaaaaaar" in a quiet voice. Didn't occur to me she should be yelling DEER!!!! at the top of her lungs until I slid to a stop sideways amoungst a half dozen of the critters. Didn't touch one but I could've rolled down my window and petted one of the bambi's.

There won't be room for people walking much less a cart with the rate of expansion of the corridor between C South and the upper C and E gates, we'll have to walk around to C north and get to E then....
I am exaggerating only a little here, that area is getting TINY!
