Some folks really don't think!!!!! The other day I was shopping in a large store (not in T.V.) where there was a woman chatting on her phone with an obvious stance of being oblivious to her surroundings. I was browsing amongst the merchandise when she'd appear just walking straight in front of me with my cart. I'd always have to stop so I wouldn't run into her. Finally I was seeing I had to watch out for her as she wove in and out of displays (it was a home furnishing store)...chatting it up, fingering items then going merrily along her way. I found we couldn't browse until this woman was out of range. It reminded me of a YouTube video of a woman texting while walking on a wharf and going right into the water! People do things (talking while walking) and more just being oblivious to their surroundings!!
