    Although I have done that... at times.... and I wasn't even texting. Probably a good idea for naturally accident-prone people like myself.

    Am I the only one who thinks they should put barbed wire around them instead of padding, so maybe these people will learn to look up, and pay attention to what is going on around them...

    I've walked into those before. As well as walls, doors, doorframes, trees, etc. I don't have very good eyesight.

    I walk into things all of the time, mostly because I'm joking around and not watching where I'm going.

    When I text, I'm pretty aware of my surroundings, however.
