Phone obsessives

[HelloDenise]

In Boots earlier a man walked slap bang into me because he was walking down the aisle not looking where he was going but faffing about with his phone instead. "Didn't you see me?" he enquired, as if he had the right of way and everyone should look out for these self absorbed phone obsessives.

I told him I had indeed seen him. I also asked him if HE he had seen ME and he said no, and I told him that was because I was looking where I was going and he wasn't.

So sick of people pissing about with their phones when they should be looking where they're going.

It's alarming how attached some people are to their phone. I saw a woman out jogging whilst staring at her phone and another woman out on a countryside walk again with her face buried in her phone.

I so agree.. drives me mad... happened to me in the supermarket a woman on her phone.. she walked straight into me and knocked my walking stick from under me.. l fell to the floor and she carried on looking at her phone... a Gentleman came to help me up and called after her and told her what she had done... she looked at me..shrugged her shoulders and carried on.

That’s really shocking.

Im guilty of checking my phone (ok, reading threads on Mumsnet) while walking the dog. She gets highly offended!

I live on a walking route to a local high school and kids walk to school, earphones in, heads buried in phones. Some don’t even look up before they step off the curb to cross the road. You have to drive really carefully around school times!
