There's a special place in hell for people whose eyes are glued to their devices while walking along. And for people who cycle/drive while on their device. And for cyclists who cycle on the pavement.
But the most special place in hell, right between Satan's butt cheeks, is reserved for the total a-hat who was on his device, while cycling in the dark, without lights (except the one emanating from his screen) in a pedestrian area. Of course, neither of his hands were anywhere near the handlebar, or brakes.

Yup - hardly feel safe these days. Nearly hit from behind by three cyclists on the pavement in the dark last night (in the space of 40m), and nearly hit head on by four others coming at me with no lights on tonight. Don't tend to walk through Reading station subway these days either as I don't feel safe there too.

Actually, a medieval author (Dante, Chaucer?) reckoned that the cosy space under the Devils Tail was inhabited by Churchmen* who would come scurrying out whenever his tail was lifted, before returning to their noxious abode. It really is a suitable place to stow your miscreants!
* I think the particular species mentioned were Mendicant Friars. It always makes me think of earwigs under a decaying log.
