Throughout the night, while the 30 somethings lit up the dance floor, the younger set remained at the table to text message their significant others! True story. I was there.<BR/><BR/>God love 'em, I think they missed the point of the GIRLS NIGHT OUT! ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-41089229397656246552007-09-27T01:33:00.000-04:002007-09-27T01:33:00.000-04:00Amen!Amen!Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204458409586217628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-13935317626592335012007-09-25T22:49:00.000-04:002007-09-25T22:49:00.000-04:00Argh.

I make a general comment about how rude it is, then notice everyone put their phones down. It is so unbelievably rude but also boring. Seriously, I don't want to hang out with people when all I do is sit there and watch them play with their phones. <BR/>Phones and facebook have turned the world into a popularity contest - people will communicate with anyone who's willing. Very weird!<BR/>And this is coming form a tech junkie :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-32253530836662257852007-09-25T17:55:00.000-04:002007-09-25T17:55:00.000-04:00Being too hard??

It's just pure rude.<BR/><BR/>I recently read "The 4-hour Work Week" (I forget the author), but in it he claims that he <I>never</I> answers the phone and only returns his calls once a week. Now, I don't know if I would go to that extreme, but, again, unless it's some sort of family emergency, there's no reason that you can't wait an extra half hour to answer the phone.<BR/><BR/>And don't even get me started on the folks who insist on wearing their Bluetooth headsets into meetings!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16002693445478814049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-2609544291978220562007-09-25T17:25:00.000-04:002007-09-25T17:25:00.000-04:00What is text messaging??????What is text messaging??????Terry Willliamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08427628202424983850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19066927.post-87266817291352685282007-09-24T20:17:00.000-04:002007-09-24T20:17:00.000-04:00Interesting.

My cellphone is always on, however, if I am in a meeting or with a client it is set to silent. I do not want to be distracted from what I am doing or who I am with.<BR/><BR/>Text messaging has gotten out of control, too. I just don't see the point. When I do get a text message, I call the person. Just easier than typing in a message.Angie Weidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102713565554139751noreply@blogger.com
