    +1 for this

    Not been to gym for years but still fitter and healthier than most people because I get off my arse and walk places.

    Instead of sitting on the couch for hours at a time and then spending an hour killing myself in the gym.

    In my experience once you've seen one Ethernet cable you've seen them all

    Oh and it's called "Dumbwalking"
    We have a version in cloggers and its Dumbcycling. Normally some idiot weaving all over the cycle path while on their phone.

    I too am pissed off with people looking at their phones and not where they're walking therefore I've recently taken to walking straight at them, in particular this trait seems to be the habit of young ladies

    if only they could do that with those that use mobiles at the wheel. we could mine the lanes and increase road safety dramatically.

    been on the bike again and managed to avoid reaching through the window and smashing the phone.
