Some people

Someone drove at me in the crosswalk, rolled his window down, screamed at me. My crime was hobbling while talking on the phone. I have a bad back injury and was organizing care with my spouse. I happened to be doing it in public. He looked middle-aged, in a suit, nice car. Probably has a job where he's using his brain. Doesn't realize talking while walking isn't a crime, and talking doesn't make you walk slower. My confession is I put a pox on this motherfucker's head. Enjoy your future back injury, you complete and total piece of shit.

Sure people definitely get yelled at for talking on a phone. Was this at an intersection and the light was already red with you effectively blocking cars in the middle of the intersection?
If no, shame on him. If yes, shame on you for being entitled to think it's the entire rest of the world's responsibility to manage your safety.

Or maybe you could just not use your phone while crossing the street.

I’ll trust a person in sweats over a suit. A suit is just gift wrapping for the turds we admire.

Walking while squawking is an issue BUT; why the anger and hate? That doesn't help forward the evolution of yourself or our society. There is a time when speaking your truth to people is of help but please; in a Loving and compassionate way.

I knew someone like you would come along to victim blame. Do you drive at old people in walkers, too?

A pox

How do you know that's not exactly how you received your own back injury?

talk on your cell phone while crossing the street. I hate it when people do that. All attention should be on your surroundings while crossing.

Apparently, A pox is a curse or a hex.

Don’t talk on a cellphone while you’re crossing!

Don’t talk on your cellphone while you’re crossing. That driver was trying to show you that you need to pay attention when crossing a street. What if that driver wasn’t paying attention and you woulda gotten hit. You gotta be aware of your surrounding when crossing a street. There’re bad drivers out there. So finished your important phone call before crossing a street. Look both way before you walk. Just because you re in a crosswalk doesn’t mean you re safe.
