Watch for oblivious people while backing down the ramp

Last time out almost resulted in a disaster.
It was quiet and during the week.
I was backing my 18 foot bow rider down the ramp. Nobody else around. I always go slow, look around and use caution. I was about 4 feet from the water and all of a sudden I see a guy proceed to walk behind the boat!
My wife was on the dock and called to the guy. He freaked and thanked her. He was not looking and he worked there! You would think he'd know better!
I guess he just had a bad day!
Luckily everything was OK.
So keep an eye out for daydreaming people.
