    I used to do this all the time, but after nearly getting hit by a car at an intersection, I've realized I have to be more careful!

    Ahh....the dangerous life of BB addicts

    Ahh! Far too many times. Now I'm more of an intermittent typer, take frequent glances up when involved in typing.

    Yes, I have; tapping away vigorously at the keyboard, I ran into someone turning a corner. (I shoulda hugged the inside more... ) So I told myself that I should stop, type, /then/ proceed with the walking. However, this didn't fix the problem, as someone behind me walked into me when I suddenly stopped. Oops... -_-'

    LOLOL Ive had this happen to me on many occasions. Like when im at work and i go to help a customer and im typing a text ill walk into a gondola. I also tend to not pay attention when im typing and walking in a parking lot. So where i work people are not the brightest people in the world and i almost got smashed a few days ago.

    I have never had this happen, but when the Blue Tooth devices first came out it was a while before I found out that some sanitarium did not let out all the Cuckoo for CoCo Puffs in one fell swoop.

    I can't count the times that I thought some stranger was talking to me instead of using the BT. I would start to answer some of them, then...D'oh! LOL!

    It ALMOST happened 2 me a month ago while walking on Canal St. I was 2 inches away from bumping into a USA Today vending machine. Now, I'm a lot more careful, especially walking on Bourbon St. With a hurricane in one hand, and my berry in the other! BTW in the N.O., hurricanes are mixed drinks.

    I don't multi-task very well. I always feel like I'm going to fall over when I walk & text at the same time.

    For those of you who are blindly texting please be careful. Recently had a death in our community.....poor soul was crossing the street when someone else blew through the light!!!! It is NOT worth it.

    I have as well walked into things, people. When I go to Material places in the morning someone always messages me and so Ill be doing whatever it is I need to do there and try to text back. I have countless times almost walked into people or the little racks they have in isles to display something "special." I have even smashed my other hand while trying to do something one handed that should be done two handed. My dad gets a big laugh out of it and then I put the bb in my pocket. Where we live you dont walk down the street unless you want to walk a country mile haha.
