I cannot tell you how many people I have seen, near my office, walk right into traffic looking at their phone....never even once looking at traffic...and to make matters worse, they are wearing earbuds so they can't hear either. And then there are those, I see everyday on the 3 lane highway I take to work, who are obviously paying more attention to their phones than driving

Excuses, excuses.
@Wu Wei reminds me of the junior monk in this famous story:

A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side.

The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman.

Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey.

The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them.

Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself no longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?”

The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”
