oh dear you actually waste time counting

why not scream at them....

Look Where you are F.n goin..

the worst are crossing the road I reckon..the other day stopped at a Ped crossing...and a mother walks across about a metre from the white lines.. on her phone the whole time and her son who was about 9ish didnt know whether to follow her or not.he hesitated then ran full belt mum never even looked back just kept walking and texting...

I dont think they are even aware of what they are doing to be honest...it wont be long and they will invent a name for it..

stoooooopid might work.. Angry

In Sydney traffic when the light turns green there's always one car that doesn't notice the change and holds up traffic. Pre mobile phones it used to be women adjusting their makeup, now it's people posting to Facebook.

Remember the Soup Nazi from Seinfeld? Maybe it's a similar situation.

Sit in back of cab.
No talk on phone.
Get out cab, no ride for you.

Yet when I first mentioned that incident in the Cab, you were all praise for the phone user. Now you say he is someone who

will just not take their eyes off their phone, and one of a rude bunch of neanderthals... APES in other words.

Make your mind up, cods.

There you go again, making crap up. Why do you constantly do that rubbish, cods? I simply described the incident and offered no condemnation.

Edit: I did say it was 'pretty rude.'
