To People Who Walk Up The Stairs While On Their Phone

Hello, It's me, the person behind you who is extremely annoyed.

Guess what? Stop looking at your phone while walking up the stairs. It is not only dangerous, but it's infuriating. You're just moseying along enjoying life so oblivious to the world around you and how rude you currently are acting.

We've all seen those videos of people walking oblivious to their surroundings, into parking garages, fountains, busy streets and more. What if you fall? Worse, what if you cause other people to fall in the process? All so you can send that killer tweet?

You are telling me that it is impossible for you to walk up a flight of stairs, which takes ten seconds at max, without your phone being glued to your hand and eyes? You're that obsessed with your phone? You're really making Millennials and Gen-Zers look great. Thanks for that dude.

What are you even looking at? A text? Scrolling through Facebook? Taking a snap? It all can wait! There is no reason you need to be so self-absorbed and phone addicted like this. I get it, emergencies happen, people need to reach you for some reason, but deal with your business either before or after you transverse the stairs!

Look, I'm clumsy as heck, so I don't need you slowly walking up the stairs making me spend more time on them. I'm busy trying to get to class, I don't have time for you and your precious phone to be in my way.

And while we're on this subject, put your phone down while driving and stop playing on it in class too! You're wasting your own time and everyone else's.

Okay so from now on, stop looking down at your phone taking your sweet ass time while walking up the stairs. Take the elevator if you want to do that. Just look up from your phone long enough to walk up the stairs and get out of my way.

You miss a lot when you constantly stare at your screen.

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
