You might find someone who enjoys it almost as much if you use your phone.

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.

Was in the pub all afternoon, beer garden, zero Guinness, not a mobile phone in sight. Mostly an older generation though.

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.

I remember walking through the northern quarter the first weekend after lockdown and the first time we’d been allowed to see friends in eons and two guys sat there, obviously mates, glued to their phones. Puzzled me that
And our very own Phil Foden being asked 5 things he couldn’t live without. Phone no.1. Before football!!
I also remember seeing Jeannette Winterson speak at the reopening of the Whitworth and how people don’t ‘live’ the moment ie too busy taking photos on their phones whether be at a concert or art gallery.
The irony is I’m tapping away on mine!! I’d happily uninvent the fecking thing.

Isn'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.
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.
Though when out with the wife, people spotting is our number entertainment (probably a sad reflection on our life and marriage lol)

We interface socially through phones now, talking sending messages video calling etc.
It wont be long before we are carrying our phones in our heads, paying in a cashless society through a wink and acquiescing to our android robot overlords :)
