I agree! The only time you should be texting someone while you're with another group of people is if you're trying to give a missing member of that group the directions they need to meet up with the group. And I'm 99% sure I know why you posted this, and I agree that the person who was texting was being a total bum.
Believe me, he's not the only one I know who does this. It was the impetus for this post, but just because it's happened several times recently. People wre wondering why it was taking me so long to get onto twitter, and this was part of it. I don't mind updates so much, when you have a moment free, but not obsessively.
I was sad because I paid a lot of money for that spread, and he was wanting out the door the minute he ate all of my Toffifee. I was enjoying the chat with you and Rachael and he was just being a butt and forcing you guys to leave because he had the car. Very uncool. You guys are visiting, and I won't get to see you until when, summer? The wedding? He could have gone to the damn movie anytime.
This also makes me really wish I had a car too, so I could have driven you guys back. I know you had an essay to write, and maybe just finished it? But still...another hour would have been nice. We have good talks, the three of us.
This opinion is very popular with me! It's totally rude, and I feel exactly the same way about it that you do. I don't mind (much) when someone glances at a text while they're talking to me, but texting back? Nope. Not cool. The only person who can get away with it is my husband, and when I give him a stern glare at least he has the grace to look embarrassed and put away his phone.
I think anyone who spends more than a minute or two (without very good reason) on their phone while socialising sucks. Just put that fucking thing away and live in the moment, for fuck's sake.
