When Phones Become Rude





It's just pretty much down right....







  1. I have to be honest.. I'm guilty of constantly texting. It's one addiction. But! If I'm with a friend and I *have* to text someone back, I always apologise and explain why I'm texting, then proceed to cut my texting-conversation short. It is rude, so I hear you.

  2. I agree, it bugs me when people can't unplug from their phones. I am definitely guilty of relying on my phone for entertainment more than I should, but I do try not to pay attention to it when I am with someone else. It's just common courtesy I think.


  3. it bugs me too! I try and not text when I am with friends.

  4. That is totally rude. I put my phone away when I have someone over or when I'm talking to someone in person for any reason.

  5. I don't ever have such long text conversations! when I hang out with my good friend, there are times when she has to deal with one of her kids or something in her house and I will pull out my phone, but not when we're actually talking to each other!

  6. I have a friend who makes everyone put their phones in a corner on the table whenever we go out, and whoever picks up the phone first (barring predetermined emergency situations) has to pick up everybody's tab! If no one does, then we split the bill evenly. I think it's an awesome way to make sure everyone connects and enjoys the moment instead of sitting around the table ignoring the moment in favor of social media/other people who aren't present. I agree - it's so rude, but some of us don't even notice we're doing it until it's pointed out!

  7. This post is perfect!!!! Ahh you're amazing! (hope this friend reads this post 'wink wink') I've shared it on my shout out post, you made it again, hehe!


  8. I'm with you on this Rebecca, honestly I think it's becoming a bit of a problem, society is being too engrossed in mobile phone use and it causes issues. I know that I use my phone to tweet and text a lot but I rarely ever, quite frankly next to never use it in company, it's just rude like you say.

  9. Hi,sorry you went through that scare with your baby. My heart dropped in the beginning of that post. I am glad everything worked out. Also I agree it is rude to be on the phone texting when you are supposed to be visiting with a friend. With that said, I am blogging too much and I know it. I need to find balance. I like commenting and giving others feedback though. It takes so much time though. Enjoyed catching up with your blog today.

  10. Dude she sounds like a pretty crappy friend. That is rude. My best friend Kelly does it but I have grown used to it. It's sad. My fiance and I have a rule; at night time when we have our "us" time which usually involves one of our favorite shows and/or we are out to eat: NO PHONES. More people need this!!! Sorry about your date with your friend. that stinks. Saw you on the link up!


  11. I agree. I have a friend who is absolutely obsessed with her phone. It drives me crazy.
