If needed, I can text and walk better than most dickheads around me can walk without doing anything else. I never run into people because I am always hyperaware of where I am and whether I am in someone else's way. When I'm not texting, or even when I am and haven't stepped to the side til I finish, I frequently have to step out of the way of self important douchebags barreling through the crowd with no concern for others. That or get barreled into when side stepping would mean bumping someone else.
I've found they're more likely to do this when you're pushing a pram. And even more so when you're pushing a wheelchair. That pissed me off no end.
Self absorbed people are pieces of shit. The being on the phone thing is irrelevant, it's the behaviours and attitudes of entitlement of the person behind it.
Missing a stop through inattention can happen regardless of phones - other distractions such as reading, daydreaming, or even being engaged in conversation with others, can cause it to happen, too.
IIN that I can’t stand people who bury their face in their phone
