Locked behind a PIN, no details on it, so thought I&#39;d take it home and keep it charged up.<br/><br/>Back on my bike, it started ringing. But I could not find out how to answer the arsing thing. Still, I thought I would hang around to try to answer it next time.<br/><br/>Eventually, the name of a nearby business appeared on the screen, so I found my way there. It was 2°C so after all the waiting I was frozen.<br/><br/>It turned out that the owner never rang the phone, they just asked Google to make it sound a loud ringtone while they toured the premises. Where I found the phone was nowhere near the business.<br/><br/>I got a similar glare when I said he could have just rang the phone and maybe someone would have answered. Understandable.

I had a blast.<br/><br/>While wondering the streets and getting slightly off-course, I stopped to get my bearings and, at that moment, a middle-aged man left the building right by me, pushing the wheelchair of an elderly woman.*<br/><br/>“Excuse me,” I said, “I&#39;m looking for York Street, I think it&#39;s near here…”<br/><br/>The man wasn&#39;t entirely sure, but he did know the name of an unrelated side street in the middle distance. Perhaps he told me that because it might have evoked a memory? Who knows.<br/><br/>Then he asked, “Don&#39;t you have a phone?”<br/><br/>I cheerfully replied, “Yes!” and then we stared at each other. Now that I&#39;ve had time to reflect, and to regret, I realised he was expecting me to say “Yes! But the battery is flat.” or “Yes! But I have exceeded my data allowance† and, like all normal people, don&#39;t download my maps in advance.” But even at the time, as the moment hung between us and became pregnant, I knew I had said something that completely surprised him and caught him off guard. He had no means or words available to reply to me. I had nothing to offer in his direction either.<br/><br/>Then I realised that I was the one breaking the norm. I had a phone; I should have been relying on it. So I explained my stance with a faltering smile and these words that would haunt me: “I prefer to use my wits.”<br/><br/>The man&#39;s expression hardened. The surprise had given way to abject suspicion. Who was this person not using their phone? If they had a phone, why did they choose not to use it and why did they instead engage other people in needless conversation to compensate for their folly?<br/><br/>I made my excuses and left, making sure to thank them profusely for their time and for stopping when I wanted to talk to them. I turned a corner, made sure I was out of their sight, then shielded my phone&#39;s screen from the sun and started up Organic Maps. York Street was fifty metres away.<br/><br/>I&#39;ve reflected on the suspicion. Perhaps some of the suspicion I felt was projection‡, but should I have been suspicious in their direction? Are people now so reliant on their phones that they don&#39;t know what the next street along is called? York Street has a medical practice on it; if they were local, they would be sure to visit it over the years. Perhaps they weren&#39;t local? Perhaps I had happened on a kidnapping in progress? Then how did he know the name of that side street? Was it part of the getaway route?<br/><br/>Perhaps I am over-thinking this. The sensible, normal response is to let my phone do more thinking for me.<br/><br/> ✻ ✻ ✻<br/><br/>* She was in the wheelchair, that&#39;s how I knew who had it.<br/><br/>† My data allowance is 20 MiB if I pay €0.23, which is probably enough to download half a street.
