It was Alan Ho and a little more expletive than that.
I thought I was having mammary memory problems for a minute there. As correctly reported, 'twas not me, but 'twas AH.TITS (The Irresistable Texting Syndrome) is very common now.If people hear a beep or feel a slight vibration in their pocket, they have no control over their actions and must look at it immediately.I think there will be specific clinics set up in the future to treat this insidious disease.
OK Rick, I just have to ask, what would you do. Quote from AlanHo"Today I went to a local retail park. The road entrance to the park has railings at the kerb from the main road and along the retail park entrance road for several yards before a pedestrian crossing. This is to stop pedestrians crossing the road at the junction.As I turned into the retail park a young woman in her 30's was walking in the slip road towards me on the wrong side of the barriers with head bent down texting on a mobile phone. I stopped - expecting her to walk to the side of the car - but she didn't and walked straight into the front of my car and finished bent over the bonnet.I got out to see if she was OK to be met by a tirade of abuse which roughly translated was "Why didn't you blow your f......g horn you c..t - you must have seen I was busy texting"Fortunately there was no damage to the car - or to the young "lady"I exaggerate not a jot - she was totally immersed in a world of her own- and it was all "my" fault."

That's a horrible thing to accuse me of Rick. I have feelings too you know.

I'm just offline when I'm between places. That's how things used to be and there's no reason for it to be unreasonable today.
