    Default Smile for the Day

    Just making a point about a pet hatred of mine, which is people on their phones oblivious to you walking along, they are on the phone and stare at the pavement and either bump into you constantly or expect you to always walk around them. I would love to take their phone and shove it where the sun don't shine Ok I've had my little rant

    Even when they are supposedly standing still, they still manage to walk around aimlessly, incommoding passers-by.
    The other day my wife and I were in a restaurant and a few tables away were a young couple eating their meal, with their eyes fixed on their individual mobiles.
    Not a word passed between them the whole time they were there. Romance is dead ~ long live the mobile phone!

    Definition of a Zombie - cycling at speed on the pavement/sidewalk, at night without lights, listening to some music, looking down while adjusting their playlist.

    Can you add any more clauses?

    Glad you guys are in agreement, I'm not against mobiles, just the inconsiderate way people use them

    @Acorn- those are definitely on the hate list. The list could go on but my pet one is the Zombie phone brigade and before anyone posts your just moaning old gits, no, it's a matter of consideration of other people and manners.

    Life is far more interesting than a tiny patch of light in your hand.

    I know what you mean Stygg.

    That reminded me when I was in the Marines, a friend in San Diego whose girlfriend had a basset hound. Sometimes I would take the dog out for a walk, and the dog would hike his leg on each and every tree, so I named him pee-air.
    I know I got off topic somewhat but I just had to relate that story.

    Like your cartoon BTW

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    That's OCD behaviour. The dog, Larry, not you, my friend.

    I love the play on the name Larry, Pee-air for Pierre.
