AIBU to be annoyed by people walking with phones and headphones?

I'm sick of oblivious people walking around staring at their phones whilst they've also got headphones in. They can't see, can't hear and aren't even taking part in real life.

What do you think?

’Phone-Zombies’ annoy me too, and to walk around oblivious of one’s surroundings is not just rude, it’s potentially very dangerous.

I just think it’s dangerous to be out there, unaware of your surroundings. I’ve never used headphones while outside my house. I wouldn’t use my phone on the street, incase it got nicked. I see it happening all the time in my city.

I think it's none of your business what others do
