Discussion Please stop walking in the middle of the sidewalk with both noise canceling earbuds in.
This is an open call. You can just put one earbud in and still listen to music while being able to hear some very essential things. For example:
Me saying "Excuse me! Excuse me! On your left!" and ringing my bell on my bike (not an e-bike. normal bike) so I don't have to veer into traffic or crash onto the grass or pedal super slowly and stalk you till you notice I'm behind you.
The walk sign beeps. You are often looking down at your phone and don't see the light change.
Sometimes there are ice cream or shaved ice trucks on campus and you can hear the jingle.
Thunder to let you know we're about to be in Noah's Ark level rain.
And all of this goes EXTRA on chancellor's walk please stop walking on the wrong side of chancellor's walk. Thank you everyone for your time.
