Therefore, I stay plugged in continually. It's not that I want to, I have to.

Well, see, that's entirely reasonable. I'm talking about chit-chat messages between friends and family.

Most of the time I never look at my phone (HTC). It sits on the bench till it makes a noise.

I don't like it when people feel the need to touch their phone when they're talking to me. Like monster, if that's more important to them, then I'll just stop talking till they're finished.

The one that riles me is when I'm watching a film with someone and their phone makes a texty noise....and they pick it up and start reading.
