You are watching a movie with someone else, that they picked out, and they spend the entire time on their phone

and i bet it was a woman, and then she complains because she doesn't understand why certain things happen.


My Mom tries to pull that crap with tv shows all the time, so I delete them from the DVR as soon as it's finished lol.

No, and if I didn't want to watch it I'd leave. Life is finite.

Yes, I detest the phone anyway, and hate being interrupted while with someone as it is, let alone during a movie.

I once had a date with a beautiful woman who was funny, sexy and interesting.

She got a lot of texts and phone calls as we were driving to diner, and I got a bit pissed about her stopping our conversation constantly to answer them.

I mean, I was having a great time. She was fun to talk to, had interesting opinions and we were getting along great...but every time we started to get really into it...another god damn interruption.

I told her how annoying it was, and asked if she wanted me to take her home so she could devote all her attention to people that weren't taking time out of their lives to actually be with her. She apologized and stopped checking her texts every couple of minutes.

We got to the restaurant, ordered, and were having a great time. Night was going great, conversation was flowing, mutual attraction was in force...then she got another god damn text and told me "I have to take this one"....

I wnt to pee, and as I was standing there realized this bitch needs them more than she needs me...so I left. Stopped by the front counter, gave them my credit card, told them to put whatever we (or she) ordered on it, and went home.

Got a call 30 minutes later (took her 30 minutes to realize I wasn't coming back, wtf?) from her asking what was going on. Never responded.

4 days later she showed up at my house with flowers and we dated for about 2 years.

I won. tongue

depends. If this girl was really into me when she wasnt texting that would be fine. We live in an age where you dont have to be near people to interact with them. I guess the other thing is if she texted me back right away, then it would be fine. It would be annoying if a girl who took hours to text me back was instantly responding to others when we were hanging out. People enjoy themselves differently though, so I don't find it all that rude. Dinner is different though. During a movie, I can watch the movie when shes texting, during dinner, I can stare at my feet. The girl I was just out with was checking her phone alot all night while we were out, but then gave me her full attention after she invited me back to her place. Which leads me to believe that she would be texting even if she was out with a new guy she liked

Yeah, I think it's really rude. The only person who does this a lot, though, is one of my sisters. It's gotten where I tell her to put her phone away until dinner or whatever is over.
