Don't Walk & Text

I'm finding it increasingly hazardous to walk on sidewalks while weaving through people with their heads plastered to their phones.  Jaywalking may now be a safer alternative to this!

I know, its probably hard for you to fathom-- a cow walking on a sidewalk, but if you picked your head up from your phone, you might notice me!

In all seriousness, walking and texting has to stop!  Is there like a petition I can pass around, can tickets be issued because its just as dangerous as texting while driving. 

The other day on one of my pizza deliveries, this chick (no, not an actual chicken--a girl), literally slammed head on into me and almost walked on my pizza pies that had spiraled into the air and splattered to the floor.  She was more interested in checking her e-mails or whatever the heck she was doing than care about a cow trying to do his job and delivery some freaken food!  Needless to say, I had to go all the way back to the pizzeria which was a 20 minute drive from the destination and get a new batch. I didn't get a tip either because I delivered the pies late!!!

Its happening all too frequently now.  You'll notice those that do the:

• Walking, stoping in the middle of the sidewalk, then walking again routine
• Walking sideways and stopping only when contact is met with another routine
• Walking, looking up, walking looking up in such a hurried, freakish pace routine
• Walking ridiculously slow as if your the only one on the sidewalk
• Face - timing/skyping their relatives  and showing them the view around them including those they're colliding with routine
• And the list can go on and on

Can't the video be viewed when your sitting down?  Can't that e-mail be answered when you return to your office or at least when you've stepped aside against a wall or something? Is it worth trampling over someone's feet, banging into their shoulders, or causing others to drop their belongings so you can stay forever trapped in media land?!?

Let's be vigilant people! Let's be respectful of others space! Do onto to others ya know?

Next time you have to be strapped to your phone while walking--just remember, you can cost someone's foot or a cow's income!

Ok, rant over! I'm good now!

Lata!
