Yeah like loads of times, even met a girlfriend like that lol.
i was trying to persuade a mate to go out for a drink and was WhatsApp him, bumped in to her, said sorry but it was my mates fault for being a lazy twat.
She laughed n asked why, I said he would not come out to play, i asked her, she said she would meet me at pub, she arrived later with her friend, hit it off with her friend n we dated.
Yeah it’s risky but meh, I do it anyhow lol
Nope. If I need to look at my phone, I stop walking and step to the side, out of the way of others walking.
I have seen many people (mostly women, is that sexist?) looking at and texting on their phone while walking, often with funny and sometimes dangerous results, for example: Falling off the curb into the street in front of a car that thankfully stopped before hitting her; walking into a glass wall instead of the open door; two women walking into each other.
I am almost never on my phone in public. I am black belt in Brazilian Jujitsu and have taken so much defensive fire arms and combat training that I am surprised i haven't been made an honorary navy seal yet. big parts of all this training is high situational awareness. and I almost always have two young children in tow. so I am not just being aware for my self but for them to. so no cell phones.
I try to avoid looking at my phone while walking. I just check my watch and depending on who the message is from, I call them back or text back while standing. I do not want to walk into someone.

The good ole days of landlines were better.
I wouldn't call myself a risky daredevil but I do it to avoid making eye contact with people accidentally.
No and I find those people annoying. That's why I petion for more public ponds
no, I always stop and go to one side before I answer or phone,
I will check my notifications or GPS while waiting for the bus, but not while driving or walking across the street at an intersection.
If I need to look at my phone, I stop walking to read.
The girl on the left isn't looking at her phone because she wants to look around and see who's checking out her braless boobs.
I do it a lot tbh😂😂
Tho I always check out before to see if the everything's okay without any obstacles LolHowever, don't follow up my scatterbrained habit. That's dangerous and not recommended!
Risky daredevil?
Back in the day we just called them dumb or easy prey.
No, i don't walk with my phone out. It's not classy and just bad manners. Not to mention pretty stupid, for multitute of reasons.
I’m not going to lie— I’ve walked in the park while reading a book on my kindle. I look up fairly often but I know it’s still risky to possibly trip or something.
Not really, I step off to the side, stop and text.
I am not on my phone all that often.
I'm not a girl (obviously) but I do not look at my phone while walking. Ever.
Yes, but you have to be careful. especially if you're doing this while crossing the street. mortingen strasse, rip :D
No I don´t because the last option has happened to me once.
Very rarely... I'm so clumsy i could end up like the last one lol
Nah i will usually come to a complete stop for a minute to text something then proceed without looking at it
only when I walk past a Bible Thumper trying to preach to me, a homeless person begging for money, or someone trying to solicit me for money
Yes. I am a risky daredevil, like the girl on the right.
Yep. But I try hard to keep an eye out for anything else. If it's something important or needs more attention from me then I'll stop.
The girl on the left is just as likely to fall into the pool. She's spaced out and thinking of nothing.
Walking in public you pay attention to your surroundings, never a phone or anything else.
