Sick of People On Cell Phones Non-Stop in Bars/Restaurants? (1 Viewer)

[mquinnjr]

Solution Invented

Sure, you could text/selfie/etc. with the phone in your hand, but that just forces you to more.

I am completely for a large-scale roll-out of this idea. Call me old-fashioned, but I cannot stand when people go out and constantly play on their phones the entire time, inclusive of men and women. If done constantly, I'd borderline interpret it as offensive, as if to say the person who is on their phone non-stop is bored by me/others at the table (even if that's not at all the case or the intention, I feel that vibe is given out if you're on your phone the entire time when out). You can tap away on your phone at home or when you're by yourself and want to talk to people IMHO.

Sure, if I'm out I don't just completely ignore my phone, but I also try to minimize the amount of time I'm on it and enjoy the people around me. Have to be reasonable.

Big fan of this though. What do we think?

 

[Patriotsfatboy1]

You should probably recognize that you are boring and people don't want to speak with you.

 

[RUSF18]

How about just not hanging out with people who annoy you?

 

[Scoresman]

stop trying to force people's behavior to fit whatever mold you think is appropriate.

BUT IT'S IMPORTANT!!!

I get a kick out of the couples married or not who are sitting across from each other at a restaurant and both are staring at their phones. As evolution sets in we are going to be a species of large eyed, crooked neck, stooped over idiots.

Add: I was at Animal Kingdom the other day walking along with my family. A young couple with children are walking towards us, man head down looking at phone, woman head down behind and to the side of him looking at phone on a trajectory that will run her right into me. I see her coming and keep walking not changing course, she ran right into me as I braced for contact. Damn near took her off her feet, knocked her bag out of her hand. My kids laughed their ### off.... Told them, let that be a lesson. Pay attention and don't be a dumb ###.

 

[NCCommish]

When I go out to eat with someone I put my phone on vibrate or turn it off. I do think it is rude to go to a meal with someone and ignore them to play with your phone.

 

[Jaysus]

Yes, I am sick of people in bars/restaurants.

We went out to lunch the other day with our 2 kids. As we were waiting for the check, the kids were on their tablets and my wife and I were on our phones. As I was about to say something to everyone, I got a text and went back to my phone.

They were probably trying to figure out the fastpass system. Disney didn't do the "no phone" crowd any favors by switching to a format that encourages you to stay on your phone all day.

Didn't knock her down. Just gave her enough of a shot to wake her up. In fact maybe I did her a favor. Next time it may be a bus.

 

[dfwboiler]

One of my friends has us put our phones in the middle of the table if we're at a restaurant. If you get a call/text, you have to drink.

I think Wall-E was perhaps the most forward-thinking movie I've ever seen.

The sad thing is that I find myself drifting towards this way of life daily.

I keep my phone within arms length ALL DAY LONG. There probably isn't a 30 minute period where I don't check my phone or the computer for "updates" on news, sports, information, etc. I read on my phone, whether it's light reading, fiction, non-fiction, or the bible. And it's not just me, everyone is like this. I see people looking at their phone while in the bathroom using a urinal.

It's gotten pretty sad. I've got to end this craziness!

Purposefully knocking down a mom with her kids is a a ######## move . Doing it to impress your own kids makes it even worse.

Walking without watching where you are going is an entitled move and dangerous. It isn't my job to get out of your way so you can keep your face buried in your phone. And he didn't say he knocked her down or did it for the kids. The kids laughed at a dumb ### who couldn't be bothered to watch what they are doing and found out why it is a bad idea.

It's definitely a new twist on social interaction.

I will check texts and phone calls when I'm out to eat, but I don't get that many and only pick up or answer something I consider important.

I'm guilty of sometimes being on the phone too much when out to eat with the family though. It's something i try to make a conscious effort not to do.

It's so common to see people walking and looking at their phone I've come to just accept it. I'm certainly not going to go around ramming into people I feel are not behaving as is see fit. That seems absurd.

Yes, you are right. Next time I will side step her and let her walk out into traffic.

Nor should you go out of your way to ram people. But when they walk into you why is that your fault.

If no one ever stepped out of anybody's way walking anywhere would become impossible. Someone always has to move. You walked into her as much as she walked into you. She just did it unintentionally.

Not bad looking, Hispanic, little meat on her bones, but acceptable.

 

[Two Deep]

Here's the deal all of the phone addiction people are going to think I'm a ####. All the normal people are going to understand, and hell they still may think I'm a ####. either way is ok by me. I don't feel the least bit in the wrong so that is all that matters to me. Didn't hurt her, but made a statement period. That statement being......Hey dumb ### when you are walking forward maybe its a good idea to pay attention, especially in a crowd of thousands.

 

[Pinkerton]

Note to self: next time you want to hit a woman (and there will be a next time), just wait until she is on her phone then SMASH her. Smash her good.

 

[lod01]

What you should have done is quickly turn away from her before impact, then when she runs into you, you drop and flop around claiming some sort of major injury. You instantly sue her and Disney. If she was using their system to do something on her phone, obviously it's dangerous.

You missed out on a bag of cash.

Why don't you go make love to your phone.

I get a kick out of the couples married or not who are sitting across from each other at a restaurant and both are staring at their phones. As evolution sets in we are going to be a species of large eyed, crooked neck, stooped over idiots.

Add: I was at Animal Kingdom the other day walking along with my family. A young couple with children are walking towards us, man head down looking at phone, woman head down behind and to the side of him looking at phone on a trajectory that will run her right into me. I see her coming and keep walking not changing course, she ran right into me as I braced for contact. Damn near took her off her feet, knocked her bag out of her hand. My kids laughed their ### off.... Told them, let that be a lesson. Pay attention and don't be a dumb ###.

I hear what you are saying, but knocking down a Mom was a #### move dude.

And expecting everyone else to watch out for you while you walk through a crowded area is what kind of move?

One was intentional, one wasn't. Purposefully knocking down a mom with her kids is a a ######## move . Doing it to impress your own kids makes it even worse.

Would your kids still laughed their ### off if the other husband whooped your ###?

When I go out to eat with someone I put my phone on vibrate or turn it off. I do think it is rude to go to a meal with someone and ignore them to play with your phone.

This.Also, the glass in the OP is dumb. Phones and cases come in different thicknesses, so its not universal. 2nd, if I go to the bathroom, I'm not leaving my phone under my glass on the bar. Third, if someone calls me, I don't wanna have to hold my beer while I talk. Maybe the bar has pieces of wood or something to set under the glass in these situations, which would just lead to people using the wood and not their phones.

That guy would get laughed out of Shark Tank.

Why don't you go make love to watching where you are walking?

I rarely, if ever, take out my phone when I go out to eat with my wife. If it's a place we walk to, neither of us usually even bring our phones. There's nothing that can't wait for an hour or so until I get home.

I love waiting until the very last second to move out of the way when someone is coming at me with their head down on the phone. I love the shocked look they usually have. One time a woman almost got hit by a car because she was standing next to me and I decided to cross on the red when an opening came up. She just started walking, still with head down and almost got hit by a cab.

 

[grateful zed]

im sick of people on message boreds complaining about stuff.

 

[AAABatteries]

Here's the deal all of the phone addiction people are going to think I'm a ####. All the normal people are going to understand, and hell they still may think I'm a ####. either way is ok by me. I don't feel the least bit in the wrong so that is all that matters to me. Didn't hurt her, but made a statement period. That statement being......Hey dumb ### when you are walking forward maybe its a good idea to pay attention, especially in a crowd of thousands.

Why do you feel it's your place to walk in to someone to prove your point? You are most likely right depending on what she was doing but you're an ######. What I you knocked her over and injured her?

 

[ChainsawU]

Texting people who they would rather be having dinner with. Quinn, I am with you man. One hundred percent. I would be ashamed of myself if I acted like that. The sad thing is, people are addicted to their phones. It is a sign of weakness. People get a hit of dopamine everytime their phone lights up or buzzes or makes a noise. Because it confirms their existence in some bizarre way. Try not to sweat it too much the next time you see it. Just know that you and I don't have to act that way, and can choose to act like grown men instead.

maybe they were checking show times or wait times or checking the fast passes or looking at directions on the Disney app

If I am at dinner with someone and they spend the entire time staring at their phone, there won't be a second dinner, ever. Worse, it kills me to see this, and it is quite common. Family of four, obviously mom, dad and the young teen/pre-teen kids. None of them ever look up from their phones or speaks to one another the entire meal. Pathetic.

Usually an abrupt "BOO!" right before they run into you works wonders. More entertaining then the forearm shiver too.

Trust me. By the time dinner has rolled around, we have said everything there is to be said that is productive. If we start talking to each other, there are farts, ugly people around us, fighting words and other inappropriate things that will be talked about.

The family face in a phone is the lesser of two evils.

Bunch of overreactors in here. The woman in question barely looked up after contact. Just so you all can feel better she went right back to her phone gazing and went on her way.
