Mobile Phone Users

[Minty]

I was walking through the local train station today, & surprised to find there were still copies of the "Metro" free newspaper piled high (1pm!), I stopped and bent over to grab one.

I'd barely taken hold of a copy when someone crashed into me, tumbling straight over my back & splatting on the floor, their mobile phone spinning merrily away down the concourse like a mini-toboggan. Yes, they had been too busy looking at their Blackberry phone or whatever those ones that look like a calculator are called to watch where they were going.




I got the goldfish in a bowl look off them, mouth open to catch the flies, obviously used to fellow pedestrians having rear view mirrors & looking to see if the person behind them is paying any attention to what they are doing before slowing down or stopping.

A future Darwin Award winner next time he crosses the road with any luck.
