Situational awareness has also become a lost ability.

I came to that thought over the years as I have observed how people walk along the roads and crossings these days.
They don't look back at cars coming from behind nor do they look before they step into a crosswalk.
They wear ear buds while walking and stare at their phones, just waiting to be tenderized by a semi.

If you complain to some people about the music in a restaurant that you have just left, many will just reply, what music?

“Situational awareness has also become a lost ability.”

I’m with you there.

I drive a lot in the city, and am dumbfounded by the number of people who insist upon strolling in the street, when there’s a perfectly good sidewalk right next to them.

I know it’s the ‘hip’ thing to do, but I can’t tell you the number of times I’ve seen those morons nearly get creamed by a dumbazz in a BMW.
