Smartphones are now like cigarettes. Back when you could smoke almost anywhere the biggest complaint of staff was after the bill was paid the smokers would sit for a while and chat and smoke making it hard to turn the tables.
Now after the bill is paid they pull out their phones and start doing stuff on them and you can’t turn the tables.
My other pet peeve is parking lots. Especially grocery stores. People load the car, get in, pull out the phone and sit in a good spot for 10-30 minutes messing with the phone. Probably Tweeting what they bought.
It’s rude, useless and selfish.
The other day I was in a crowded parking lot...and two teenage boys come out and open the door to their car. I wait, thinking I’m about to get a spot.
They started putting gel in their hair, spraying on deodorant, and generally prettying themselves up...then they got out and walked back in the restaurant.
