[ARCHIVED THREAD] - How Many Times... (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 10/23/2013 5:40:18 PM EDT
...in the last week, have you been talking to someone, and have them start fucking playing with their phone? Now, I'm not even talking about them already playing on the fucking thing when you start to talk, I'm talking about being in mid conversation, and having them pull the goddam thing out and start fucking with it, then giving you the, "Uh, huh." What the fuck. I know that I'm starting to loose a grip on the current times, but holy shit, this is fucking crazy. This shit happened to me twice in one day. I'm going to start keeping track...I bet I can break a dozen in a 7 day week, no problem. I know I'm in GD, and everyone's just going to say that I'm just a boring fuck that's not worth conversing with, but damn, man...

I killed a date with a girl who answered her phone for a BS call while we were at dinner. Ripped a buddy of mine a new one for fiddle fucking around with his phone ( answering texts and other bullshit ) while we were having a discussion. I do NOT tolerate that kind of rudeness. My GF has a smartphone but, unless it is the kids, or something that is important, she holds the texts until an appropriate time. |

I see people playing with their smart phones all the time. In college classes, in conferences, while "working", during personal conversations...it would seem that the humans of 2013, regardless of age, are addicted to electronic communication. My cell phone, which is almost never used, stays in either the car or in my satchel for the occasional call or emergencies.

Quoted: It's called multitasking, That, or try being more interesting. They think they are multitasking. What they are really doing is multi fucking up everything they do. I've showed them their mistakes and they still don't get it. They can't believe they are fucking up all over the place because the multi tasking distracts them from their mistakes. They always sound like the Robin Williams line when he explains the reaction of an alcoholic in the morning. "Oh my God, somebody shit in my pants." |

At work when this happens (someone takes a call while we are talking/working/etc), I just walk away and go help others who are waiting on me and appreciate my assistance.
I was riding with my niece (her driving) and she kept looking down at her phone to see who had called/texted her. I picked up her phone and turned it off. When we got to our destination, I asked he to turn her phone on and show me all of the messages she had received that were worth dying for (of course there were none). One night my son stopped by to visit. While we were talking he kept getting text messages that he would glance down at and give 1 word responses to. After about the 5th message, I asked him who in the blue blazes keeps texting you so much. He said "Chris Costa." I told him to please continue with his texting. (In his defense, he does get many of his future jobs set up during the evening hours) |

Point out to them that what they are doing is rude and insulting. That sort of boorish behavior needs to be called out. I would laugh in the face of a guy who talks about "tits, guns, cars, and beer constantly," if he told me I was being rude and insulting. ETA: I don't whip out my phone in the middle of conversation unless it's to show an email/internet picture that the discussion itself led to, or if I get a call from an important source (and sometimes that's just to check who it was that called, and not to actually answer). |

Quoted: Recently hired a young lady for a customer service position. She was being trained by another employee one on one. The new hire spent a good portion of her training time texting. At the end of her first week we let her go. Bonus points if she was called in to HR by text. |
