Do you do lifesavers when walking?

[Flatbadger]

Not that it's required - but since I'm in that habit on the bike I've found myself doing it elsewhere! Feels a bit daft but it is reassuring that it's getting ingrained on my brain..

Does anyone else do this or am I going lifesaver mad?

Yup, I always look behind me when coming up to junctions or just to check behind me when I'm walking. Best to be perceptive all the time.

Yep.

[mysterious_rider]

Working in retail means I have to. Otherwise I might get an anklefull of trolley if I don't check where I'm walking.

[J.M.]

Yep.

Especially when shopping with my trolley.

Glad I'm not the only one! I've always been quite spacially aware when walking about, I hate those people who stop dead or turn around suddenly on the pavement! Grr!

It might be because I'm such an untidy sod - I'm always watching my step!

Yes.

I also check my mirrors.

I usually do lifesavers in supermarkets. Not being aware of what is going on around you in a public space with lots of people is a pet hate of mine. You know those people who just change direction or stop in the most stupid place.

I always do a life saver before pulling out from the checkouts, quick look over the shoulder so as to not flatten the old lady, drop a gear, and bang i'm gone.

Plenty of overtaking to be done in this aisle behind the checkouts in the race for the exit, so it's every man for himself.

Always do them. Bike. Car. Van. Passenger. Walking.

I'm such a tit.

Yes I do - life savers with a Tesco trolley all the time

[haroman666]

I do a lifesaver in any instance of changing direction. I'd almost be inclined to do one when changing position with a lady-friend

I have a massive habit of looking at imaginary mirrors too. Especially when on the push-bike.

Yep, although I call it "looking where I'm going" which is a skill in rapid decline as the large bruise on my ankle will testify.

Yes, and much more in supermarkets. The general public are blind sheep.

Hehe, I try to go to the big Sainsbury's round the corner now and again..

As the minutes tick by, my shopping list gets shorter and shorter as I get flustered by thoughtless u-turning, badly placed trollies and by scenes from the Dawn of the Dead. I end up getting about two or three items and just getting out - and down to Tescos where I can shop without getting so annoyed

24 hour shopping would be great, but nothing stays open round here - nearest place is 6 miles away, not worth the bother if I'm on a whim.

I could get togged up and pretend I'm a celeb like Alan Partridge in Tandy's

Hi

I do life savers while walking / pushing a trolley, etc as well.

[Nick 50]

Phew, thought I was just a bit weird, thankfully not

Doing lifesavers when your not on the bike is ok. But beware of the day when you try to filter to the front of the queue when your in the car/van!!!
