Hmmm ... a young woman who was raped and murdered in Melbourne recently was actually talking on her phone letting someone know she was nearly home.
I totally agree about earbuds, not only to keep awareness of surroundings and possible threats, but in relation to traffic also. I live on a hill with no footpaths and the number of people who walk with their backs to the traffic and headphones on terrifies me. A couple sometimes are also pushing a pram with a baby in it, have a toddler with them and a dog on a long lead! Nasty accident waiting to happen.
Is this wrong?
