Why do you touch my phone when I show you something on it?

Weirdo.

agreee!

Agree. I always wonder why people want to show me something on their phone. If you offer to show them something...it is your fault they are touching it. How can they look at a pic w/o holding/touching the phone?

It's about the swiping...and you know that.

I'm definitely looking for that nekked selfie.

Seriously, as others have said, I can't see it. There's either a glare or you are holding it too far away or too close. I have horrible reading vision.

Ugh I have an older co-worker who always asks to see pictures of my son. I am happy to oblige and I don't even mind her touching my phone. But she always proceeds to glance at whatever photo I pull up and just swipes away. Then looks at me all confused when she ends up seeing a price tag I photographed at Costco, or where I parked in a garage. I'm like, lady, I didn't make a special kid photo only folder for your convenience!

But I never swipe. I just take ahold of it to view the pic they are trying to show me.

But, really, yeah, I'm like the person above me who said they don't like it when people are like, "Hey! Look at this picture!" I'm usually like, "Sigh, really, do I have to?" It's just kind of boring.

Exactly. I am usually not that interested in seeing the first photo, so I definitely don't swipe to see more.
But if you don't want people seeing your other photos or even touching your phone, don't ask us to look at things on your phone.

Because I cannot see it at the angle you’re holding it. I would never swipe your phone, however. Partially because it is an invasion of your privacy and partly because I am totally uninterested in your photos and hope you stop showing them to me.

I will lend you my 5 year old. He has made a favorites folder on my phone and put all the pictures of himself and his sister in it.

who swipes through someone else's phone? i can see holding it to see better, but swiping? that's weird.

What are you showing people on your phone? I don't show anyone anything on my phone. Why show your phone yo anyone?

[Anonymous]

Because the angle at which you're holding it is reflecting the light from the ceiling directly into my face. By holding it, I can minimize the glare. Also, it never occured to me that the very next picture after your kid's Halloween costume would be a topless photo you sent to your husband.

I agree....

This is very rude behavior.
I always get offended when people do this to me.

Slightly enlarge the pic before and the one swipe won't work. If they are persistent, though...
