I’m guilty myself but sometimes it’s eerie how everyone walks about staring at their phone all the time!
I did this yesterday a bit. I was in a new area of a city and was using Google Maps to find my way.
People do stand about using their phones, but that’s cos people are talking to them via their phones. Not that different to standing around talking to someone in real life, except that you aren’t always with a friend.
I too was riding home the other day and almost hit a chav kid crossing the road. He was too wrapped up in talking to his gf, who was with him. Tch. We should ban girlfriends, they’ll cause an accident one day.
then up some road I passed a teenager in a hoody stood at a curb staring at his phone, he wasn’t at a bus stop or near a shop, just stood in the middle of nowhere doing fb or whatever, don’t you think that’s odd?
Hang on – so you complain when people walk along texting or FBing, then you also complain when they stop to answer a text or message? Can’t win!
