Stop Looking Down on your Phones While You're Moving!

Maybe she was hunting pokies. It seems like there are a lot of accidents now from people looking for those critters.

It’s bad enough when people talk and walk but when they’re texting they need to stop walking, it puts people in their path in danger. You could have been hurt had there been a car passing by. Imagine what could have happened if this silly girl had slammed into a frail old man or woman?

I have seen that happen by people of all ages. They don't think about what could happen when they aren't paying attention because they are too busy on their phone.

I saw this in Walmart, a girl was walking into carts looking at her phone. She looked up and then kept walking looking at her phone not even apologizing.

Fast reflex you have. Good job.

We saw the same thing a couple of weeks ago right in the street. several kids, I say kids but they looked adult. Anyway they had their phones in their hands wandering all over the street. My better half slowed down and blew the horn. I'm surprised someone didn't get run over.

Oh my That's dangerous glad you were okay and I hope that taught her a lesson! Hopefully she wasn't playing that Pokemon go game!

I doubt very much that this girl will listen to your advice.

Thank goodness YOU weren't hurt due to her careless behaviour.

I almost ran into a teenager on my bike the other day. He walked right across the bike path without looking. After I screeched to a stop, he said "oh, sorry" and continued walking across the bike path without looking the other way. Had he gotten nailed, I might have chuckled, I hate to say. Will it take a speeding Dodge Charger to teach him a lesson?

Thank goodness you were there to stop her from walking into traffic.

@theBlock Timothy, thank you for this post and letting us vent on this subject. It is a real pet peeve of mine. I am so tired of those walking down the street with their eyes glued to their cell phones and not paying attention. I have seen mothers pushing their strollers so busy on their cell phone that they could care less about those around them or those that just stand there having to check their cell phones. I have had people coming right at me with their eyes down while I am on my scooter but somehow they move out of the way. I just give them a look. I am not their keeper but it seems like I have to act as one out there on the streets of Jerusalem with idiots and their phones.

Crap like this makes me glad to be a cynical adult who can't afford a cellphone. For starters, I try to avoid these irritating habits I witness people perform. I mean dagnabbit, these people ar far more outgoing than me, how do they not know:"Oh I'm out in public, I've gotta watch where the f*ck I'm going." Though I'm kinda scard to think it might be a race thing. xD See I tend to be a black dude in a crowd of white folks, so I gotta look where I'm going. That doesn't say I feel safer about other black folks, as I feel less safer around them, but as a result, I tend to look over my shoulder... And this while listening to my ipod. But even with that I have the audio turned down low enough to hear everything around me, because when walking next to a busy street or crossing a the street via a walk way, I don't trust those lunatics behind those wheels! But people that engrossed in their smartphones and smart devices pretty much have it easy in life, so they don't feel the need to be cautious... It's a dangerous prospect, but it's something we gotta deal with.

That is so annoying and dangerous, I hate it when people do that!

People looking at their phones constantly is annoying.

Such a bad thing, it could endanger lives! So many are hooked into it.

If that will happen to me, I'll lambast that person. I don't tolerate people whose negligence are caused by their lack of attention due to their gadgets.

This is really bad and I see people doing it too while driving....

I don't see what can be so important on their phones that they have to be looking at them 24/7. I mean come on you are walking you should be paying attention to where you are going. There are some people out there that actually believe that they have mastered texting and driving and believe that they want ever wreck while doing it. That is scary to know and makes me a little scared of driving.

Cellphone can cause accidents so better not to look at it we you're doing something. Some people are careless and not attentive when they have cellphone in their hands. They even playing games in their cellphone while walking at the streets. It's so annoying.
