Reply To: Ladies First – Is it respectful or not?

LC- Boruch Hashem, I have rarely ever had to go to Manhattan in my life! I think I was there 3 times in the past 10 years.

Where I live, I rarely see smartphones.

But, that does sound really scary! I have occasionally texted while walking down the sidewalk but not while crossing the street! I even try to avoid talking on the phone while crossing the street as it can be dangerous.
