I am totally convinced that today's young and younger people are all idiots. They are all hung up on their telephones and other electronic devises.
In Honolulu, Hawaii police will issue summons to anybody who crosses the street when the lights are red. For this reason, people just stand there waiting for the lights to change. The other thing is that police will issue summonses to anybody who while crossing the street is looking at their telephones. The reason fro this that people have the tendency just to blindly walk into a bus or a truck because they just don't want to let go of that darn telephone.
Abigail is my window to the world. She is the same way. She will not go anywhere or do anything without her phone. If she can not answer a message within five seconds she gets upset. How could these people live in the old days when there was no cell phone?
The other day my wife and I were down in the laundry when a young lady came in. She placed her cell phone on top of the washing machine so she wouldn't lose any seconds from the movie she was watching. She was mesmerized by her movie because she stopped a few times while loading the washing machine to watch her movie.
Anywhere one goes, subway, doctors' waiting rooms, bus people are staring at their phones totally impervious to their surroundings. There could be two headed people walking down a street, but these idiots would not notice them. And if you almost hit one with the car or just bump into one on the sidewalk they get upset.
What this world came to?
You're lucky you no longer drive!
ReplyDeleteThe same way you have noticed pedestrians cross the street blindly nowadays because their eyes are glued to their phones, is the same way they drive their cars at 80 mph...they often don't look up for a mile at a time!
