Can You Hear Me Now?

“In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among us, a greater sincerity.”

There should be an app for that. People shouldn't have to look where they're walking. It's a violation of their pedestrian rights and it's discriminatory.

Re: Can You Hear Me Now?
The ones who really get me mad are mothers pushing babies in a stroller across a busy street while intensely focused on their electronic device and oblivious to the traffic around them. 
People who are wrong are just as sure they're right as people who are right. The only difference is, they're wrong.

Then there are some that aren't using cell phones but use their strollers like a warning device when crossing a street. They should be arrested for unsafe stroller operation.

I work as a customer service rep for a major cellular service provider, and if you were to give me a dollar for the number of people who have called me about their issues with their bill, their account, or the cellphone itself while they were driving, I could have retired three years ago. Now give me another dollar for each person who wants me to troubleshoot their cellphone while they are calling me from it — which is a task comparable to replacing a piston in a car while the motor is still running — and I could have retired FIVE years ago.....
It's shit like this that almost makes me regret the fact that I am a CSR and do what I do, because in a small way I am contributing to the madness.

Yes, I suppose I could agree with you ... but then we'd both be wrong, wouldn't we?

I think it was Jeff Bezos who said you have not had enuff coffee until you can thread a sewing machine while it is running.
