I do call people on the bus but I try not to because it can be annoying for others and I believe you have to respect each other when travelling and today a woman was on her phone from when waiting at the bus stop and doing face time and looked at me annoyed because I sneezed yet the whole bus could hear her conversation.
I am not a saint I have been told off from being on my phone when my son was playing in the park and she was right in doing so and there is a time and place.
Some people are on their phones crossing roads and riding bikes. Yes they are good in case of an emergency but when you should be paying attention when crossing a road you are putting others in danger.
Also we should be setting an example for the next generation when travelling and all you hear is someone on the phone. I had a realisation from Jo Frost, who was Supernanny and I am guilty to, is handing your child your phone. I find it better to take a physical game like building blocks, my niece was playing with a travel hangman game or a book to read. Colouring book and pens.
I do feel we rely on our phones to much and I like writing things down, aswell as using my Notes APP and Notion to remind myself of things and often will put my phone somewhere where I can't reach for it.
It is good for taking pictures. Today I was taken photos for my Newsletter I post each month on my blog site Everyone can build a castle, I like to journal on it and look on social media, but not all the time. I was guilty of looking at my phone every five minutes and I was waiting for my bank card, but had it on my phone but hated that method and so glad to have a physical card.
I have scrolled on my phone when I should have been paying attention and I like to play music and I like audiobooks so it has its uses its just when people are travelling and not using headphones. I don't want to hear a telephone conversation and find it inconsiderate and yes I suppose I could walk but why should I?
We all have to share this world and the things within it and so it is important to respect each other.
