We don't get "coffee" breaks at work. So essentially any time between orders/phone calls/sourcing/talking to vendors/quoting/a million other jobs, is our "free" time. So I've been known to take 5, check my phone. Read the news. Bullshit like that. But it's on my time. No one else's. And I absolutely can not stand when people get so distrcted fom their phones they can't do basic things. Like walk.

A few years ago I watched a girl walk across a street (in the crosswalk but it wasn't her right of way, thankfully no cars were there) and not even look up. She paid the price when she got to the curb and caught it dead on. Down she went. Slamming her phone into her face as she hit the ground cause she didn't even have time to get her arms up. She landed with her head almost on top of my feet. She looked up, rather sheepisly, phone still clutched in both hands. All I did was shake my head and said:

"Yah learn anything?"

Then proceeded to cross the street.
