How to Spot a Smartphone Addict!
Smartphones are an integral part of many people’s lives, with many of us glancing at them over 1500 times a week. But when does this habit turn into a real addiction? We take a look at some of the biggest smartphone addicts right here!
The Over the Top Biker
This smartphone addict laughs in the face of danger! Just when you thought checking your texts whilst at the wheel was bad, this guy rides by to you to show you just how hardcore he can be when it comes to checking his Facebook.
We just hope this guy’s insurance company haven’t seen this picture, otherwise we get a feeling that his monthly premiums might be heading skyward!
It’s Just a Flesh Wound!
So, you’ve been caught up in a pretty nasty accident, you’re in need of medical assistance and you’re about to head to the hospital. But before you get your much needed treatment, you’d better check to see if you’ve found any Tinder matches first.
The mobile world waits for no man, so why should you let a serious injury affect your love life?
Maybe a wearable would be more convenient in this situation, such as the LG G Watch.
Surgery Selfie!
If your friend’s undergoing a medical procedure, it’s not likely that a batch of Instagram likes are going to help them through it. (Not that anyone told this selfie snapper!)

The Coaster Texter
Even Hollywood celebrity Kim Kardashian is hitting crazy smartphone addiction levels here. The reality star/smartphone addict has a big following on social media, but do we really need updating of that when you’re in the thick of a theme park ride?
The Smartphone Soldier
Cease Fire! I absolutely NEED to send a Snapchat! Unfortunately, real life isn’t like the latest version of Call of Duty; you can’t simply pause the game to send a funny picture. It’s not like you get any extra lives if you happen to take a bullet to the cranium whilst using your phone either…
Also, you might struggle to find some decent network signal in the thick of battle, and we can’t even guess at the monthly costs you might end up paying for 4G service! At least you get to show off to your mates…
Texting Down the Aisle
It’s meant to be the most magical day of your life, but what’s a wedding without replying to that Whatsapp group message, eh? It’s always a classy move to stash your smartphone back down your dress after your reply as well…
OMG! This House is on Fire LMAO!
A house is engulfed in flames, you’re there to stop everything burning to ash. Your fellow firefighters are doing their utmost to save what’s left, what do you do? Take a selfie of course!
Nothing says i’m great at doing my job like a good old selfie, does it?
**It’s not just addicts who need a break from smartphones! **Find out why you should ban your parents from using mobile phones too!
Bull Selfie!
If simply running with bulls isn’t enough of an adrenaline rush for you, why not do it whilst shooting a video? That way you can look back at the moment you were too focused on your phone, tripped up, and got trampled by the half-ton animal!

Is Someone Drowning?
We all do it; we all glance at our phones during work. Whether it’s to reply to a text message from your other half, or to take a quick look at your latest tweets, smartphones are invading our workplaces. It’s safe to say however, that some jobs allow for it a bit better than others, take these lifeguards for instance.
If you’re a Serial Smartphone Addict…
Walking and texting is a minor inconvenience for any pedestrian, especially as it can cause pretty serious injury if you’re not careful. So instead of taking the risk, why not hire yourself a Seeing Eye person to guide you safely through your daily commutes?
It might not be as cost effective as simply putting your smartphone down, but if you really can’t help yourself it’s probably the safest option. Just make sure you hire someone you can trust!
