Pedestrian Texting

I can't take it anymore. Pull over dammit!

As a professional street walker (without the sex), I am annoyed by the amateurs I see on the sidewalk every day. Technology is amazing and wonderful, but I don't need to be a part of your accident waiting to happen. I'm even at the point where I don't even bother to move to avoid a streetexters, I just walk right into them.

If your message is so engrossing that your texts veer you straight into traffic, I think it's time to take a page from Ellen and Oprah and pull your ass over to finish your beautiful text sonnet.

I'm not alone here either. It seems that a town in New Jersey is looking to fine streetexters $85 if caught walking and texting.

YES
Texting is not a right, it's a privilege. The privilege is that I have good enough sense not to grab your phone from you, throw it to the ground and do my break dance on your latest smartphone device.

NO
Do not act like I should be watching where you're going. If you walk into traffic, it's all on you. I am not your mama.

MAYBE
You don't have a phone, you live in that North Carolina town that prohibits technology and you don't have any friends to text. Congratulations, you're probably 100 years old and lonely because all your friends are probably dead. Awww...xoxo #sad
