Just heard this convo between 2 guys in there mid twenties:

Dude one: "So you gonna meet us out there after you go home"

Dude two: "My phone is dead, I gotta re charge it. I dont like being out without it. Probably just stay in and let it charge."

Dude one: "Yeah, I know what your saying."

Is this acceptable to everyone?

Mad weak excuse. He might as well say he's staying in to wash his hair.

I just think our cell phone/smart phone obsession in this country is amazing. It controls people's lives and its like their only sense of security. I just wanted to smack the guy. What a lil bitch. And then for his friend to agree...I could never say that to a friend in fear of ridicule.

I forgot my cell at home today. I was like F it I am not going back. Sits at my desk doing nothing all day.

Other then checking scores from time to time or an occasional call it is never used.

My neighbors daughter (27) has a son (4). She never watches her kid just has her phone pressed to her face 24/7. It amazes me how someone can be so addicted to their phone.

I saw a mother at a Tee-Ball game last season sitting in a lawn chair on the phone in a foreign language AND using a laptop at the same time, during her son's baseball game.

Seriously, your son is 5...so you need to be paying attention to him because of his age, plus...these moments of watching them grow up are something you're missing and will never get back. Pay attention to your kids, parents...soon you'll wish they were small again. Things like Tee-Ball games are something that shouldn't be missed, especially for something as stupid as a phone call or Facebook. That woman and all of the parents like her make me rage inside. I feel so bad for the kids who always have to wait for attention until the phone needs charged.

I agree. I love my gadgets but when you're hanging out you dont need to be on it every second. That said, they've done studies and anymore people that are without their smartphones/internet/etc have withdrawl symptoms similar to some of the harder drugs. Pretty crazy.

This whole stupid young generation has been neutered by their phones. Pathetic. They THINK they cannot function without them.

I do retail work in Bethesda now (shoe sales), and a customer complained because apparently she felt like I thought she was going to steal something because I was circling around her.

Scenario: She's trying on designer shoes (which means they tend to be higher end) and I glance over at her, which is something we always do to deter theft and because we have a ton of high end shoes theft runs rampant, and in return she gives me the stink eye.

I walk around, straighten up a few things, and I can feel her watching me. I look around the area to assess what needs to be done and catch eyes with this woman. More stink eye.

A customer asks me for help looking for a shoe for a wedding she has to attend. I tend to the customer, walking around aisles looking for a shoe I think she'd like. After I'm done helping her I look around to figure out what else I need to do in this area... More stink eye. Then she gets up and leaves.

When paying for her items, she complains to my assistant manager that she thinks I was eyeing her because she was going to steal something.

Retail sucks.

Yep.

I figure that had a lot to do with why she complained.

Well I won't lie, I always use my phone but I have to for my work.
