Check your cell phone as you walk up the stairs

Whatever voicemail, text message, e-mail or Facebook status update will be there when you get to the street. People in this city have enough trouble walking up stairs without looking at something in their hands. Forget rubbing the stomach and patting the head. No one has the motor skills to walk and type at the same time. Look down at a phone and you'll walk right into me. I've stopped because the person in front of me is walking slowly while looking at his phone.

And if you've waited to the top of the stairs once you get above ground, do everyone a favor and wait the extra 15 seconds to when there still isn't a crowd behind you. Someone will thank you for it.
