Cell Phones Are Dangerous - Dk

 
Ever notice some looking at a cell phone,
while they are walking along-   they just keep on talking;
or they are just looking and detached- and all else is unknown,
I watch them from my balcony getting off the bus and walking.

Now, the winding pathway into my building is quite dangerous,
it has many bumps and uneven surfaces, dips and cracks;
a guy on his cell was walking this path treacherous,
DUMBSTRUCK- he falls still looking at the cell phone as he smacks !

Congratulations on a fine win!

Rico Leffanta Date: 8/14/2021 12:14:00 PM The peak of stupidity is looking at one's cellphone instead of the traffic when crossing the street in a pedestrian crossing in Hawai'i (or Rome)!

L Milton Hankins Date: 8/14/2021 9:18:00 AM (chuckle) Some people just never learn, do they? My pet peeve is when they are driving and looking at their cell phone. You can see them weaving all over the road. Crazy!
