I live in Dublin, and I walk (currently unemployed waiting for masters results and applying) a lot. It's not uncommon for me to spend the better part of the day out just wandering the city. There's definitely a lot of people with their heads in their phones (myself included at times, though I try not to!). I've been pushed off the sidewalk multiple times, or bumped into, by people not looking up where they're walking and just kinda zig-zagging down the sidewalk. Often, they've got their airpods in and their head still in the phone.
Maybe it's a Dublin thing though.
