I can't Believe how many silly people think its clever to listen to
Anything
but their surroundings whilst out walking...don't the Care about Other
people/? Think of other pedestrians who are walking along the same
pavement
why should You expect Them to be watching out for You? Why should you
feel
entitled to give people a shock when you do something unexpected as you
maybe missed hearing something...and don't you think you probably look a
little strained with the added concentration? I prefere to look "Normal"
as
possible whilst walking outdoors. CW
