andsome Posted March 1, 2016 Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 Returned yesterday afternoon from a visit to our son in London. We were on the tube by 8-30 to start our return journey. Without any exaggeration at least 75%of the passengers had wires dangling from their ears,attached to phones. Their thumbs were all frantically scratching up an down on the phones,while they stared at the screens like zombies. What the hell is the matter with these people? Walking along the road,probably close on 50% were doing the same thing. We were surprised that more people do not walk under a bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catgate Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 It is what is known as PROGRESS, andsome. Up here in the wilderness of Yorkshire all the sheep, cows and even some fields of cereals are doing exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanHo Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 I turned into a side road last year in Solihull town where there is a pedestrian crossing about 50 yards down the road and railings along the kerbs to stop people crossing elsewhere. I saw a young woman step onto the crossing and then walk diagonally towards me - clearly intent on cutting the corner. I stopped and watched fascinated because she had her head down and was texting. I expected her to notice the car eventually - but no such luck - she walked straight into the front of the stationary car and got folded onto the bonnet. Friends and family were later the enjoy watching the video from my car camera. I opened my door to see if she was OK - only to be met by a torrent of foul mouthed abuse which ended with "you stupid C*** you should have blown your f****g horn - you could see I was using my phone". What is the World coming to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belatucadrus Posted March 4, 2016 Report Share Posted March 4, 2016 Not to worry AlanHo evolution will win out, morons like that not only injure themselves fatally they generally alienate people to the extent that otherwise well intentioned passers by can't even be bothered to pee on them when they catch fire. The Darwin awards await her. PS the correct answer to her tirade is Quote Sorry couldn't do that too busy posting your stupid face on Youtube.
