I said excuse me and she grudgingly made way for me.
People using their phones outside I don't get; what is so important that it can't wait until one is sitting down indoors?
I always keep my phone in my pocket and on the rare occasion that it rings whilst I'm out, I'll stop and stand at the side of the pavement as I answer it. Texting as I walk wouldn't occur to me.
I have to agree Fosse. I wouldn't hurt for them to stand to one side a mo whilst using their phones.
I saw a very stupid woman the other day when I was driving home.
I had stopped at a zebra crossing for her, and she had got a baby in a buggy, and toddler running along next to her, and she was crossing the road with these two youngsters and gassing away on her mobile at the same time.
Hence she was also only pushing the buggy one handed let alone not holding on to the toddler in the road.
And don't even start me on extending dog leads on narrow pavements!
