@ARYANTO It's true what he says about everyone being on their phone. What really gets me is when I'm having a face-to-face conversation with someone, but their phone, be it a call or Whatsapp, takes precedence. Excuse me, but I was here first!

Granted, there are times when you may be expecting an important call/message, but then let the other person know about the possibility of being interrupted. Or, if you think it might be important e.g. a child calling a parent, quickly explain to the other person and apologise for taking the call.

However, people don't do that. They simply stop the conversation and attend to the phone.

When that happened the other day, I just picked up my bag and left without saying a word, while the other person was replying to a Whatsapp. And she had the audacity to Whatsapp me to ask why I'd left without even saying goodbye! Oh. My. Vape.

Happened to me a few times. I just turned around and walked away. Other person was like "Where are you going?". Me: "When you have time for me, let me know."

BTW, I'm almost never on my phone. I don't like it. It's there when I need it, but I handle my phone maybe 3 or 4 times a day for a few minutes only when I absolutely have to, and that's the truth.
