I spotted two young ladies up the road from me this morning, holding a
conversation with someone in a building across the road. One of them
had a jacket with a fake fur lined hood, which she pulled up as she
continued to talk to the third person, who was hanging out of a first
storey window. Knowing how effectively a hood acts like blinkers, I
just knew this girl was paying no attension to what else was going on
around her.
I wasn't going fast, but I knew that I'd have to keep an eye on the
hooded young lady, in case she did something stupid. Sure enough, just
before I reached them, she steps off the pavement, right into my path.
I shout, apply the brakes on and prepare to change directions rapidly.
She doesn't respond, but continues to saunter across the road, her
attension fixed on her conversation with her friend above. Lucky that
she did continue in the direction she was heading, as I was able to
swing behind her. Thankfully, her companion seemed to gather what was
going on, and remained on the pavement.
I don't think she even noticed when I shouted "You dizzy....." at her
as I passed. I didn't finish that sentance, as it would have ended in
a swear word.
