    Wonderful! Many have been the idiots who walked into me due to them
    looking at their phones and not where they were going.

    I have as a policy whenever there is a phhone zombie walking on a
    collision course, never to move out of the way to teach them a lesson
    which will probably save their lives later.

    Kids, look where you are going!
