Police trap in Keaau

[Punatic007]

I just read an article about the Japanese not considering talking on a cell phone in public as acceptable behavior. They love their smart phones and text often but not while walking and don't talk in earshot of others, it's considered too distracting and blatantly rude. Where did we go wrong? I am so sick of cell phone chatters sucking the ambience out of life.

I digress, the article didn't say anything about talking while driving but it did say eating a snack while you are walking down the street is also considered rude and distracting. They don't think you are focusing or present and will disrupt the flow of other pedestrians etc..
