I've been trying to figure that out for years. My wife does that even at the house. Answer the cell phone and starts yelling into it like the other party can't hear her. Annoying as hell.

Hopefully a quick 'hey, can we focus on this...' would take care of something like that, but yeah, it would be pretty annoying and rude if you're there for work and they're checking facebook or whatever. Checking your phone during an interview is kind of mind boggling, too, and I've heard similar stories. Something I find interesting is when I'm talking with someone and I get a text, after they do that dumb 'is it mine' thing (even though their phone has never made that sound), they get a dumbfounded look like 'uh, are you going to check that?' I don't mind if people check their phone as long as there's some kind of acknowledgement if I'm talking, so I don't continue rambling to someone who's clearly not paying attention.... but, it's funny that people talking to me will actually think I should interrupt them and check my phone.

One thing that ticks me off: more than a few times I've had someone ringing my order up at a register (say at a Dollar General, Big Lots or somewhere like that) while talking on a cell phone the entire time. Sometimes I get a nod of the head or a whispered "How are you today?" at the very beginning but after that eye contact is severed and there is no contact at all.

I have nothing to say to my friends more often than not, so if I'm dicking with my phone it's to post on this godforesaken forum.
But for the most part I'll be the only one not looking at my phone while everyone else is snapchatting / Tindering / texting either across the table or town.

I'm taking it enough people here have FB to see the Clickbait link about a restaurant wondering why it was receiving so many complaints between 10 years ago and the present day, right?

Not that I even give two shits in the first place, but I think it would be easy enough to skim through 30-something posts to see if something you're thinking about has been mentioned. Especially when you just admitted you spend time on this site while you're out with your ****ing friends. It's not like this is some reerunedly out-of-control mega thread.. |
