We already knew you were an asshole.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

And now we know you would allow someone to walk over you.

Or as I think of it, you are probably more likely the person who would be knocked over in such a collision.  ;)

The last time some idiot walked into me because there was some pressing need for him to look at his phone instead of where he was walking I said, "Maybe you will look where you are going next time" as he picked himself up off the pavement.

Did he apologize and then compliment you on your height?

No, I don't think he was Canadian.

Tall people's bones are weak and their muscles less efficient. Age will show this colossus has feet of clay. And deteriotated cartilage.

Something very similar happened to me once.  In my case, though, the other guy wasn't down on the pavement until the third or fourth time he walked into me.

I'm far more likely to leave my phone at home than to ever run into anyone while looking at it.  :P

Marti seems like a jerk.
Yep. And I think the guy on the phone is always in the wrong on these situations.

No, the fact he landed on the pavement made that point fairly obvious - even to a non Canadian.

He's the Manute Bol of Canada. The Yao Ming of Canada. I doubt he can lift his foot to eye level though.
