Murr Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Awesome Video!! I have walked into my car before when text walking. My car was my intended destination anyway, but not into the back of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbob Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Of course. But, i've learned my lesson by stopping first, then texting with maybe the occassional shuffle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoogleViper Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I've not done this but I remember as a kid I was walking home from the local co-op reading my newly purchased copy of the Beano. I was holding it right in front of my face and walked straight into a lamppost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I remember walking into a lamp post once, but that was due to greeting someone else and not focusing on what was in front of me. It's likely I have walked/been about to walk into things due to texting/general lack of attention - I have a terrible tendency to just zone out.

Rummy Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I'm pretty special when it comes to walking even without distraction, I have more than once somehow hit my face on lampposts while walking and talking to a friend. I can't recall any specific text-walk incidents, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Did the BBC just a) make a news story about a YouTube video, b) use the word "D'oh!" and c) follow it up with "splash!"? Anyway. Amateur. I can walk and text fine with my awesome spatial awareness. Hell I can do most things and text at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 yup I have when walking home drunk texting my now girlfriend and I walked into a phone box, one the metal BT ones...there is a massive dent in the side of it still and I had a lump the size of a golf ball on my forehead. I'd like to point out usually I do it just fine...I blame the n900 I used to own and not being able to text with just one hand means it takes up more time.
