Responding here because several people have brought this up: why are you assuming I'm not stepping out of the flow to both set up walking directions and to check my phone? Just because I didn't say it explicitly doesn't mean it doesn't happen, but I fail to see the reason why every HN comment I write needs to become a giant essay in order to cover every possible objection up-front. I've just moaned about people using their phones whilst walking: I'm hardly like to stand in the middle of a busy pavement whilst I set sort out directions in Google Maps. I also didn't say that I took a dump and a shower before I left the house today but, if you absolutely insist on making an assumption, it would be much more sensible to assume that I did than that I didn't.
