OMG my husband read this the other day!
It is so true - although people have been obsessed with “phones” (truly or not) since the boom in the mid ‘90s.
But now, I guess, since they “text” and can be silent, it’s even worse. “I’m not bothering anyone so....”
Oh yes you are bothering me with your rudeness!
PUT DOWN THE DAMN “PHONE”!
I stopped into a Subway last week and while I was waiting to place my order I observed two gals seated at a table together, both fixated on their smart phone or whatever they were.
for the time I was in there, I never observed them have any contact with each other whatsoever...........
