    Get Off Your GoddamnPhone

    Christ, can I spend a single moment amongst other human beings without them staring at a screen of some device.

    gotta admit, tho: bitching online about people constantly online has a certain self-referential notion to it no matter how it comes about

    Get Off Your GoddamnPhone

    OP: totally agree. I'm so sick of it. Everyone staring at their phones no matter where you go, including in the woods, ski areas, etc. I was on a 14er summit this summer with unbelievable views and yet most of the other people were sitting there on their phones. Kinda depressing IMO. The worst are the drivers that are endangering everyone by staring down at their phone or texting while driving.

    two dogs is blocked, but he is right.

    It is getting out of control. EVERYWHERE it seems people default to their phone. So strange.

    Would you rather have them talking to you?

    I wouldn't.

    We were talking about this the other day and how it would be a glorious time to be a mugger. You could be right on top of these people and take their shit and you would be gone before they even knew what was happening.

    I didn’t know what “411” was until today.
    My co-worker was shocked that I didn’t know.
    I made a call to see who was answering and how it works.
    Guess that number won’t last much longer...

    When we were younger, and had to pay for such services, we would call this ingenious outlet called 1-800-FREE-411.

    You listen to an add and then get your 411.

    Could have predicted a lot of things from that.
