or (and this is my favorite) while talking on their cell phone!
You can never fail to be surprised by just how dumb some people are. I remember when I worked in the local library, we often had to take trolley loads of books just in to the main public area to check through the card catalogue while processing them.
These books couldn't be taken out by readers until they were processed, labelled, catalogued, etc, so we'd always stick a huge notice on the sides of the trolley to say so. The notices covered the shelves of books.
It was always a source of amazement how often you'd turn around to find some reader lifting up the notice to get to the books underneath and then trying to make off with them.
Never failed.
And then, classic, they'd either say, "Oh, didn't realise." or, my favourite, "Oh, I didn't notice the sign." You just lifted it up to get underneath it, you moron! How could you not see it?
