Texting In Public/with People

GOD this drives me nuts. I absolutely cannot stand it when people text/talk on the phone while they're in restaurants, in line at the grocery store, etc etc etc. Even more annoying is when a friend invites you over to hang out, and they spend the entire time on their phone instead of interacting with the person in the same room as them.
*shakes head*

 

Yeah... They should do that when they are driving their cars.....




Wait!

 

Wait, I text in line at the grocery store often. Usually I'm complaining about the idiots in front of me or the dick behind me who keeps ramming me with their cart.

 

in a restaurant waiting for food or standing in line waiting your turn seem like ideal times to text.

 

yeah, shit drives me crazy too.

 

not your business where I text....if your friends ignore you and choose to text at your house then that's kind of on you

 

texting doesnt bother me at all..mostly because it doesnt affect my space

violating my earspace with your retarded phone conversations is a different story though and will make me want to punch you in the throat.,,,or push my shopping cart into the back of your ankle

 

I'm at home in the living room. Is ok that I texted my wife, who is the kitchen, asking her to bring me a beer?

 

"violating my earspace"...i like that spaceman....see, no hard feelings ever....
funny,beagles...
i ran out of likes for the day so have to say what i like out loud now.

 

yeah, and text or talk on your cell phones while you are driving, too, and perhaps cause an accident that kills someone else because you did not have your full attention on your driving or the road...i...hate that...i do not care what anyone wants to do, who they text, etc...on their own time and not endangering someone else's life.

 

Really annoying on the roads now.

Seems like every 2nd red light you have to honk the car in front cos they are on their phones

 

The most bizarre thing happened to me recently. I happened to see a friend of mine at the store and she invited me to her house for coffee and a bowl, but it wasn't long before she was glued to her phone on facebook and I ended up talking to her teen-age daughter the entire time, who at one point even said to her mother;
"Why don't you put the phone down for two seconds and be sociable, mom...jeeze!

Weird, lol

 

LOL, that part would suck being a teen nowadays, your parents can video call you whenever they want

 

I see it all the time. A group of people at a restaurant or bar sitting together at a table...and they are all on their phones. If I'm with a friend....and they will not put their phone down, I have been known to leave without saying a word.....just get up and leave.

So many people in the "position" of using playing on the phone with their head down. At some point the body will rebel with neck and shoulder pain.

Put your fucking phone down and look at the world an people around you.


What about dumbass people who record a concert with their phone instead of enjoying it while they are there? And the stupid....constant selfies!


end rant

 

I went to a concert the other night with my 21 year old coworker and instead of watching the concert she took pictures of herself and uploaded them to snap chat all night. Then I look out at the audience and realize almost every other person had their phone out recording or taking pictures. Wtf people. This was the first concert I've been to in like 4 years besides local shows...4 years ago smart phones were just taking off and you would see a few with their phones out but not half the audience. It was kind of a culture shock.

that same coworker and I went to some botanical gardens one day on our lunch break to walk around and she was on her phone the whole time then too. So annoying.

 

my text are something like this:

Ok
yes
no
later



I cant write books like some people can..

 

I have no problem telling people I am with that they are being a dick in some way...


try this


''put your fucking phone away because it is embarrassing to be with you right now and if you don't I am leaving......dick''

 

also....if absolutely needed I will say ''excuse me a moment''

or

''I;m sorry I need a minute''


those are called manners

 

I hate this too. My friends and I have a rule when we go to dinner so that this doesn't happen. We all put our phones in the pile on the table during dinner and if anyone touches theirs, they have to pay for everyone's dinner.
