People filming everything at gigs & at the football is my pet hate. What's wrong with just living in the moment, enjoying what you're senses are telling you & creating memories in your brain?
Don't get me started on the TikTok coked up kids filming each other singing nursery rhymes on stadium concourses.
Likewise the crunch as the phone hits the floor followed by the jaw dropping is a lovely sight.If I see some idiot texting and looking at phone and expecting me to move out of the way I just walk into them,it great watching there face as the prized possession hits the floor
I use mine far too much but it’s like a rabbit hole, I look something up and that leads me to something else etc, watching tv and I’ll ask myself a question boit an actor I’m straight on google and IMDb! Chatting to the wife about how easy it must be at school these days for exams and stuff to find information I had to get on the bus to the library!I think people are very quick to pin this kind of addiction on a certain age group. I know a lot of early 20s folk who use their phones a hell of a lot less than my mum and dad (both over 60). Reason being they have grown up learning to use them in moderation.
I think whether you’re glued to your phone 24/7 or not has a lot less to do with age and a lot more to do with your philosophy on life and whether you’ve been taught from a young age how to live a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
I use my phone more than I would like in my day-to-day but I draw a line at using it on holidays or at events.
No they won't, see what you have started now lolAh, you know what these Irish are like. They'd start a row in an empty phone box.
I'm not sure which scenario is worse tbhA fun pub was gold yesterday. There were five girls dolled up in one booth and a family of three in the next. Every single one of them just scrolled on their phones throughout.
I was sat alone and mine was in my pocket.
I enjoy my own company. Having a quiet feed out alone is a simple pleasure.I'm not sure which scenario is worse tbh

I was out with two friends last night and none of us were on our phones.You might find someone who enjoys it almost as much if you use your phone.
Fair enough, but maybe their simple pleasure is getting dolled up and looking at their phones.I enjoy my own company. Having a quiet feed out alone is a simple pleasure.
Why would I do it in company? Both the lads I was out with last night have kids so I rarely see them.Fair enough, but maybe their simple pleasure is getting dolled up and looking at their phones.
Think you misunderstood the reply tbhWhy would I do it in company? Both the lads I was out with last night have kids so I rarely see them.

If you want to sit on your own and not use your phone and say that is your pleasure and that is ok then 5 girls dolled up scrolling through their phones might very well be their pleasure and therefore also ok.
But you didn't think so, hence your post about them in the first place.
tbh I could never go in a bar and sit on my jack anyway, far to self-conscious for that lolIsn't it the case that if you are enjoying yourself so much that you don't spend much time looking at others in the pub or bar to notice what they are doing.
