Whenever 'you' see folks (they're ALL over the place) with a phone hanging out of their ear. Be it while taking a walk, shopping, eating in a restaurant, shopping etc. It comes to mind-----whatever did we all do before cellphones? I hate that we are THAT connected to technology and have to instantly be available to whomever has our phone number.
I for one only use my cell for "emergencies" (my car broke down??) or if I need to contact someone for information while I'm out and about. I tell folks if they want to call me they'll better reach us on our land-line. YUP, we still have one of those 'antique' things!!!
I agree that if you're at someone's house and the host is constantly checking their phone (it could be facebook and texting) while you're socializing is extremely rude. Maybe when they come to my house I should spend my time on my computer!! Back in the day, when a call came and you were with someone, or a bunch of someone's, it was considered GOOD manners to tell the caller you'll call them back later!!
