Pokémon GO is the biggest craze at the moment and almost everyone seems obsessed with the game that is making children and adults run around the country like madmen. Here's the run-down: You download this app and it sends you on a hunt around your city, town or village to find pokémon on your phone so you can 'capture' them to your phone and get some exercise while you're playing and draining your phone battery. But along with all this, you can battle others around you once you reach level five! But what about the people who find this ridiculous? Here are a few things that the non-Pokémon GO players would like to say to Pokémon GO players.
1. GET YOUR CAMERA OFF OF ME.
I personally do not care if Pikachu himself was asking for permission for you to chase me around with your camera because you need to throw the Pokéball. I do not look cute in candid pictures and I do not want some stranger pressing their phone to my face.
2. Look up from your phone long enough to not run into me.
I understand the Pokémon are on your phone, but I am in real life so you need to watch where you're going. I'm not about to save you from walking into on-coming traffic. Sorry buddy.
3. The next person to walk by me who won't look up from that game is getting tripped.
You won't even know that it was on purpose because you won't look up long enough. So I repeat, LOOK UP AND WALK.
4. I hear you running past my house at 1 a.m. while I am binge-watching Netflix and I am not happy about it.
The time that the world is asleep is my time to relax and watch every single episode of "Orange is The New Black" in a night so when I hear you ADULTS running by my window yelling at Squirtle, I am not a happy camper.
5. Why didn't I download the app? Because I am not about to spend my time and gas chasing an app around the country.
Thanks but no thanks.
6. I see you in line in front of me at Chipotle trying to catch a Pokémon before you order.
You are holding up the line. I am just trying to get my chicken bowl and I might starve by the time you catch that bat thing flying about the salsa. If you are going to annoy people with the game at least do it outside and not in restaurants and stores.
7. If you play the game while I am cashing you out at work, I will figure out a reason to make your wait as long as possible.
I know this is evil but I just do not like that game.
In all seriousness, I play the game and it is quite fun but others may not think so. So, be considerate and safe while catching! I look forward to seeing my fellow game-players in a nearby park or something!
