There was a time when I would shoot people down because of their phone
habits, but since becoming a smart phone user I understand what they see
and feel with their phones through my own experiences, including
looking or interacting with my phone in social situations like parties,
outings and most rudely, dinners. Yes, I was one of those types that
would scold you, glare at you and generally never live down the fact
that you brought out your phone during dinner...etc. now I am even
guilty of that or at least leading others into that "routine" so not
going to fret it at all. there are still boundaries that I won't cross
with the phone, I wont text while the car is moving, and I won't text
and read the phone while walking.
lately
I have been seeing people crossing the street while talking on their
phones, completely oblivious to their surroundings, including fast
moving cars. 2 times today alone, I watched people just step off the
curb and proceed to start walking, not noticing that there was an
approaching car right upon him. he finally stopped, and in fact jumped
back in shock that a car almost hit him. This is most definitely not the
way to cross the street. you idiots need to pay attention, look both
ways, THEN if its clear, put your phone down and walk across the street,
I find it hard to believe that conversation your having is more
important than your existence. I see the same things regularly when i
see parents/mothers run across the street with their kids/strollers,
instead of using the crosswalk, the CORRECT way to do it.
its
just a case in point, people are just too busy in life to experience
the little things, and its really pretty sad considering the little
things are really what make up what life is all about, at least that's
the way that I think about things. if you get to wound up in your
everyday existence. you lose sight of your dreams and goals, and when
that happens you lose all focus and direction.
