Everyone I know who has a smartphone does it. My parents are always telling me it's rude to use the phone at the table, and then they do it themselves for the entire meal!
May I also note that even though I am old enough to drive, I do not have a phone. I have to borrow my brother's dumbphone (AKA: a non-smartphone) for some homework, while my parents are texting their friends needlessly and playing 'Angry Birds'.... AND ADULTS WONDER WHERE TODAY'S GENERATION ARE PICKING UP THESE HABITS! >:/

Buddy, next time this happens, walk away politely with your smart device, and then send an email saying you won't eat with people who won't follow their own rules.

again, I have no phone of my own.
And if I did that, they would punish me for disrespecting them or some shit like that. -_-*

What gets me, is when you see a table of people -- obviously hanging out together, yet they are all silently ticking away on their phones... Are they communicating with each other perhaps? Or are they trying to include some virtual friends?? Online gaming??? The mind boggles.

I'm only using this shit since few months and I can feel it calling me like "Come on, you gotta type!" ...I miss my old unbreakable Nokia phone. Our love wasn't so toxic. :c

I don't mind this when it results in not talking half so much as I mind when they're supposedly still talking to you, but keep texting. I mean, if they're not gonna talk to me, they don't have to. But then why are we out eating together? Why are they asking me "hey, wanna go out and socialise?" if they're not actually going to
"--Hang on."

"...Sorry, what we're you saying?"
Apparently I wasn't. See, I like to have real conversations. Which is why I don't text in the first place.
My favourite is when they tell me they need to answer this one, and I'm like "so answer them". And they're like "but if I answer the phone, it'll interrupt our conversation.". Which conversation? The one we're not even having because you're paying attention to something else? I mean, if it actually -is- urgent, then don't waste the caller's time. Just answer them. It takes far less time to use real-people words, so if you gotta address something, then just go address it, and then you can come back and actually pay attention and we can actually talk.
I sort of resent the implication that wasting -part- of my time is ruder than wasting -all- of it.

I tend to leave the damned thing in my pocket, unless there's something like a genuine emergency going on, then I excuse myself, because not doing that would make me an asshole.

this sort of thing driver my dad up the f**king wall, [my parents own a small hotel and wifi sort of a expected thing to be available to guest], he's gone as far as to switch of the wifi box when ever this happens in the dinning room at ether dinner or breakfast time, as in his book is it really rude to be ignoring your partner in such a ignorant way, it also makes it damn difficult to server some one who cant pull there eyes away from a tiny screen cus heaven forbid they go with out updating there relevant social networking Β account every 5 minuets Β

Yeah, the damn things are addicting.Β I try to make it a point to pay attention to my phone use.Β One of the things that help is my constant paranoia that my battery will drain in two minutes if I turn my phone screen on.

I have literally had to mug my brother for his phone so he wouldn't sit and play with it at the table.Β I am tempted to set this on his computer's wallpaper while he's out.

DOOOOOOOOΒ IIIIIIIIIIT. No really, if it's that big a problem, do it. Maybe it'll teach him, if not you'll get a good laugh out of it

Yes! So MUCH yes! But I, unfortunately for most people, don't plan on giving them degenerate habits. I spend every second working through every physical torment I can inflict upon them, and, when they finally die or their vocal chords rip from the screams, I also think of a few ways to damn or otherwise harm their immortal souls.

I'm dark like that, but, gotta say, some people just deserve pain and suffering,Β here and in the afterlife.Β

my mom, my brother and his wife always use their phones at the dinner table... my dad and I just sit around and chew, but in my mind I'm like "ya know a few years ago I woulda' been scolded for using my gameboy at the table!"

I know right? The same people who -still- demand I converse with them at the table, are now the ones who I am no longer able to converse with at all, because they never actually pay attention.
No wonder I got estranged from my family -- they'd tell me "if you're going to join us, you can talk to us", and I'd tell 'em "I could, if you'd put the phone down". Over and over and over...
