Texting Zombies...LOL :)

You know what really Grinds My Gears? Texting and Walking. With how user-friendly phones are today, its hard to not use them whenever and wherever you want. Sitting, standing, walking, driving, in class, in the hallway, in your bed, in a meeting, during a test, etc. Texting is just a standard part of everyday life now. Everyone has a cell phone and just about everyone knows how to text. Some people have to put their glasses on to do it (My Folks). Some have to change it to the Spanish setting (Rudy). Some are notoriously awful spellers (Jordan Quinn). We all have faults when it comes to texting, but one thing we all have in common is that we text while we walk. I cannot tell you how many times I have been shoulder checked by people because they don't have the decency and good sense to look up from their phone for two seconds and make sure they aren't about to plow over somebody. We have allowed using our phones to engulf our lives so completely that we cannot even wait until we get in a seated position to use them. We put our safety at risk and the risk of others when we keep our eyes glued to the phone. It goes from bumping into side tables and stubbing toes to walking out into traffic unaware. There will be a law against texting and walking soon...just ask the lady in the video.

  1. I totally agree with this. I work @ Dicks Sporting Goods and hate when people act like zombies while texting. Even worse is when they are on their phone and trying to have a conversation at the same time!
