General / Off-Topic People I could live without
- Thread starter Caramel Clown
- Start date
- People who tell me to look where I'm going when I'm walking along looking at my phone. I have a thing called peripheral vision. I can see you, and probably saw you, before you saw me, thank you.
Oh...you one of them! Well as someone that has nearly come of their bike a few times having to avoid the shuffling zombie phone user (and yes we are talking on a cycle path) and nearly getting rear-ended in my car after having to break hard to not run someone like your self over, i would just suggest that 'peripheral vision' awareness you think you have all down, is not actually being as useful as you might think. Just because you have not been hit yet, does not mean you are leaving a trail of near-destruction around you as you shuffle along
I'd bet decent money if a drone was to follow you around you'd get to see all the emergency stops people have to do around you all the time.
So i would offer to the thread (i'm sure it has been done all ready):
People i could live without; pedestrians lost in their phones as they travel, just dangerously irresponsible.
Yup, another vote for the "shuffling zombie phone user" from me. Perhaps Cosmicspacehead is an exception to the rule but as someone who commutes through busy London stations every day I can vouch for the fact that most people looking at their phones while walking through stations, along platforms or around ticket barriers and escalators are a right royal pain in the bum bag.
Lol sorry!
I generally only have issues with cyclists hopping on the pavement and demanding I get out of 'their' way, and those odd occasions when you both step in the same direction out of eachothers way. Lol
If it gets too hectic, I just stop looking at my phone.
I'm not a phone zombie though. Those people are hilarious to watch. And sometimes scary.
Nearly ran one over once because he just kept walking across the road staring at his phone!

The brats on big bikes, wind me up as well. Logically, over 24 inch wheels are not allowed on the pavements in the U.K. and during my younger years, I found a quick nudge very amusing.
You are not serious !
