I must admit that I am guilty of text-walking from time to time, though I would definitively think twice before doing it while only inches away from water...

Not a good showing for the West Side of the mitten! Come on, when you are on a Michigan Pier, PAY ATTENTION!!!!
I have to admit this does not surprise me, I have seen a lot of stupidity on the Holland and Muskegon piers in West Michigan.

Even if the phone was waterproof you couldn't text from underwater. Tis a frequency thing, hence why submarines use ULF.
I saw the ultimate "stoopid" on the Edgware Road the other day, he had an iPad and was using it as a phone, two hands to hold it to his mouth ;D ;D ;D

All the annoying folks who persist in "texting" whilst aimlessly walking, should be deported to Michigan, placed on a very short pier, and forced to walk off the edge.

Awful people!

(Importing White Sharks would be an excellent addition).

Paul... >:(....(In my very angry mood!)...!

Observing a person clutching a Mobile Phone, etc, is like waving a red rag to a Bull, for me!

Please no more in Michigan!! I swear some of us in the Mitten state are intelligent! You gotta believe me!!!  ;D

Just the other day a girl on WMU's main campus dang near walked into me because she was absorbed in her phone thinga ma jig. I am proud to say I dont text and am text retarded. My phone makes calls and takes pretty grainy pictures. No texting. No internet.

Sorry, Adam... ::)....

I'm afraid that my recommendation has now been taken up by the British Government, and has now become law... [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]...!

.. so expect a sudden influx of brain-dead Texters into the State of Michigan...

...you will be very welcome to them all.....trust me!... ;)...!

Paul... ;D... ;D...!

This story reminds me of one day when we were driving into Hastings, a cyclist was texting while riding & he was kitted out in all the flash gear. Even worse, it was a busy road.

Also the same day I saw someone texting while riding a horse. :o

Only in Havelock North. ;D
