Went out o dinner last night with the family, and 90% of the people were glued to their phones. Gone are the days of engaging each other. I don't agree with parents letting their kids bring tablets or phones to restaurants either.
Put your phone down
- Thread starter GOTSVT?
- Start date
I've been seeing this for years.
The worst is when it's just 2 people sitting across from each other, both staring at their screens.
I don't use my phone at a restaurant unless I'm on call that week and need to check email or voicemail.

Sad but true. If I'm out to dinner w/someone & they start w/the damn phone I will tell them to put it away.
Phones down at dinner.
I agree. People who are on their phone while at the table eating are rude AF.

I'm never on my phone unless I need directions or to make a call. I'm sure my iPhone is one of the least used iPhones in the US.
The wife and I leave em in the car.
I’m on mine more than I want to be...
But my wife is ****ing horrible about it. It’s ****ing annoying, and Lord save me if I mention it.
Sometimes it’s better for my mood if she’s in her own world instead of screwing up mine.

No phones at my dinner table. Dinner is for laptops and T.V.
My wife is a realtor, so I've grown used to her getting calls/texts during dinner or even as late as 9 pm at night.
Work stuff is different, I can understand that.
My wife just goes into full checked-out mode. Either looking at stupid shit, or randomly scrolling though meaningless bullshit.
Doesn’t matter if it’s around the house after work, at dinner, or laying in bed before I get shot down at a piece of ass, her face is glued to that stupid piece of shit.
When out with a bunch of people at dinner we like to play a game. We all take our phones out and stack them at the center of the table. First one to pick up their phone pays the bill.
I saw a young mom yesterday with what looked to be a 2 year old in a shopping cart at the grocery store yesterday. The kid was watching some video on an iPad. All I could think is that the mom is missing an opportunity to talk to her kid in an interesting setting. Just think of all the lessons and knowledge that could be passed on. Where does chicken come from? How are pickles made? Who grows the vegetables? Why do we use money? Etc. Instead, that poor kid's sponge of a mind is absorbing whatever is on that screen.

This x 1000.
Good friends raised their son the same way. Now he’s a freshman in high school and has no social skills. He’s anxious all the time and acts out more often than he should, to the extent that he’s damn close to going to a military school.
Sorry what did you say? I was on my phone and wasn't listening....
I sit next to my wife at restaurants. Always get a weird look from the staff. I only check my phone if it's something I want to show her.
just looked...and the album doesn't come out till the 20th, FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUU

You too? They look stupidified when i sit next to mine and we actually talk
It's funny, because they always place the menus across from each other and get the
look when I have to pull the menu across the table.Users who are viewing this thread
