You are probably no stranger to watching people use their mobile devices while resting their arms on the railings of shopping malls.

In fact, you might even be guilty of doing so.

Well, maybe you should think twice or exercise common sense, as one concerned buyer points out.

YX, a contributor to Stomp, said: “Shoppers resting their arms on the railings while using their mobile phones in shopping malls are common. I’ve seen it for a long time.”

In an email titled ‘Mindless Habit Could Kill Innocent People’, YX also shared several photos of shoppers in the act of doing this on AMK Hub on Sunday (December 20), around 6pm to 7pm.

The Stomp contributor added: “The crowd was heavy as usual on the weekends so there were a lot of people walking underneath.

“We are lucky that so far, there has been no incident where phones fall from a user’s hand and crash into someone several stories below.

“Please exercise common sense: DO NOT use your mobile phone in this way.

“Another person could accidentally bump into you and cause you to drop your phone on the head of someone below, or you could loosen your grip in some way.

“That innocent soul below could be the only source of income, the mother of several children, an old man in the form of a violin, or a small baby.

“Can you imagine the dire consequences of this mindless habit of yours?”
