Distracted text-walkers

I'm visiting Vancouver right now and as I walked to the condiment stand to tend to my pretentious beverage at Fivebucks, a young Asian fellow nearly walked straight fucking into me because he was tappin away on his smartphone. Are you kidding me? I should have bluntly walked into him. The busy sidewalks are worse, idiot people walking along that might as well have a damn blindfold over their face. You know who you are, stop it. Stop it now.

are you really that angry because he almost ran into you? I mean, I understand if he walked into you and you spilled your drink on your shirt, but clearly that didn't happen. But if you are looking for a solution to the problem I suggest that every time you see somebody doing this, throw their phones on the ground and stomp on them. Problem solved.

I text while I walk all the time. Sometimes I even text when I drive! Oh, the humanity! Come at me, Tony Bromo.

I had to move last second to avoid the collision, he didn't even notice me. Why do text walkers get the right-of-way? What a joke.

Yes, because I didn't punch out a 4 foot fuck all Asian guy in the middle of Starbucks, surrounded by Asian people (Vancouver). I am 6'4. Lol you're all taking my OG post so seriously!

It is fucking annoying to have to dodge them. But no reason to ruin your day.

one day, most likely in the very near future, i am going to run someone over right in the middle of downtown toronto as they just start crossing the road whilst the white walking guy is clearly not flashing because they are too preoccupied with sending a text.

you are downtown, with a ton of cars, and a ton of people trying to cross some of the most busiest intersections in the entire world. pay the fuck attention.

and worst part is, if i run you over, its my fault, just cause im in a car and your not, even though its is 1000% your fault. such bullshit.

the trick is to periodically be aware of existing, and check out what's goin on around you, sometimes there's cool things like buses bearing down on you, or flowers growing out of cliffs you are about to walk off. i have mastered this awareness through good chi.
