Do You Life Saver?

Discussion in 'Lounge' started by bradders, Apr 22, 2020.

  1. When walking. Something I do and only really noticed today, before I change direction or move from my direct line on a path, I have a small glance behind when I have earphones in, just to check a pushbike or faster walker isn’t going to run into me.

    Anyone else do that?

  5. Normally I do.

    I doubly do so now, seeing as how the lockdown has brought every inconsiderate jogger and cyclist to our pavements.
     
  6. A simple yes would do.
    YES.

  7. Agreed. OP should have made this a yes or no poll with no option to post comments.

    Good thinking, Steve. I'm glad smacking yourself in the face is not affecting your cognitive abilities!

  13. Very rare on the bike, but more in car and road crossing etc , can never hear those electric , apparently health conscious cars coming.
     
  14. Sounds a popular thing. So why is it, whenever I am walking a bit quick EE than those sprung me, everyone just changes direction without thought of anyone bumping into them?!
     
  15. People are a lot stupider that they used to be, when I was young. There are several proofs of this and several reasons for it being the case.

    Some Causes:
    One reason - we are creating a society where the need to be intelligent is becoming redundant. Another reason - Government policy.

    Some Proofs:
    One - Have you met people, recently? Two - Public schools and universities provide ample evidence.
     
  16. Yep. Definitely a biker thing. They should make it compulsory in supermarkets ;)
