I feel helpless without my cell phone. I have become so accustomed to the lifestyle of having a smartphone that when I leave it at home, lose it, or God forbid.. break it(!) I can barely function. With Google, Yelp, Facebook, Twitter, iTunes, let alone thousands of other apps my time can easily become consumed.
BUT… there is always a but… I cannot stand it when I am with someone, whether they are a significant or not so significant other, and the cell phone is out. There has been many a case where mid movie a phone call is made or answered, mid dinner a text message sent, or mid hangout an activity check made. There is nothing that says “You bore me” quicker than a push of a button that lights up the phone screen. If I see the cell phone you better be checking in on your dying pup, finding out the movie times or showing me something that will blow my socks off. Otherwise, you can tweet that funny line I just said after we are done.
For those that are clueless and helpless into cell phone etiquette, Gizmodo.com is here to help. Answer the questions and follow the path to find out if you can pull out your cell phone safely or face the consequence of me judo chopping it away!
