I just got home from a night out with friends. During dinner I looked around and found a few of my friends buried in their phones. I find this to be rather rude. What is your opinion on this matter.
 
It drives me mental ... I will not answer my phone when I am at dinner be it by myself or with friends. They can leave a message and no text message would be important enough to need a response straight away.
 
It is rare that we eat together in my house, but I don't think I could do both. I wouldn't be fussed if someone else wanted to, unless we were talking and they left me for their phone.
 
i may send a text during a dinner, maybe while waiting, but it is rare. I prefer be present and check my phone after.

Anyway the same your situation happened with my "best" friend (i considered him to be it, i was wrong!!) when for my 18th birthday i held a dinner at home. He and another girl were continuously texting... i felt soo bad and ignored!

I'm sorry they did that to you. I think next time their phones dropped in a glass of water would do the trick.
 
Cell phones are a disease which is quickly turning into an epidemic.
 
Christ, all this melodrama. You'd think this was one of those gay sites. I couldn't give a shit whether someone texts while doing whatever, as long as they aren't driving a car, opperating industrial machinery, or sitting on my cock. They can do it whenever they like other than that.
 
I find that it is INCREDIBLY rude to use a cell phone for whatever reason at the dinner table. If you are that important and need to be in contact with whoever - stay at the office. Otherwise, just turn it off and enjoy the company you are with. And there is no reason, unless the babysitter just called with an emergency at the house, to be on the phone - and even then - excuse yourself to the lobby.

Cell phones have become the bane of society and manners in general. I know that we are not getting rid of them, but people just need to be more considerate of those around them when using them.
 
there is nothing better than spending an afternoon planning and making a meal, setting the table, and doing everything that needs to be done for a nice family dinner only to have a person sit at the table and chat on the phone. i do not allow the phone to be answered during dinner, period. it's a time for you to discuss your day and whatever else you want to talk about, it is NOT a time for chatting with others on the phone.

My vote is for completely RUDE. I would say something to these people if they were friend of mine.
 
It's rude and tells the person that you are with is not worth your undivided attention.
 
Even if I wanted to text anyone at the dinner table there wouldn't be much point, nobody replies to my texts.

Then you'd better not be the next person who bumps me on the street or tries to run me over either with your car or your shopping cart in the grocery store because you're too inconsiderate to get off the fuckin' phone and pay attention to what you're doing.
 
When I go out for dinner with my mates, you'll find 90% of them on their phones at some point (including me).. it's no big deal..

If it's a dinner that someone is actually making, perhaps a little different..

But word, I think it's a generation thing - To be completely honest, if I made a big meal, invited people over, and at some point they were on their phone, I would not give a fuck.
I got bigger and better things to worry about.

TEXT FO' LIFE.
 
I think I'd also like to make a point that everyone in UK texts beyond belief - A lot lot more than our neighbours across the pond.

It's quite needy and sad to need someone's constant undevided attention. They're communicating with another friend, deal with it.

THANK YOU!!!:=D:

Now, I agree that if done in excess (although what is excess and what's not is so subjective) it can be rather annoying...mostly in certain occasions, like someone mentioned here throwing a dinner for his 18th birthday and his best friend kept texting all the time...he was there but wasn't really there at the same time. That can be annoying and a lack of consideration.

Anyway, other than that, I couldn't care less weither you're texting or not. And you never know when you'll receive an urgent phone call or text message. Someone here said that no text message is urgent enough that it can't wait...well, newsflash, it has happened to me...something came up, I only had enough credit on my cellphone to send one text message and I didn't have money with me. Fortunately, the person called me immediately...but what if that person was like you? I'd be fucked big time...and I could've been in a dangerous situation.
So yeah, you never know. These days, you can't be too careful.
