[quote=Anonymous][quote]Texting and checking email every few minutes is beyond rude. [b]It is like saying to someone, hold on, let me check and see if there is something more interesting then you.[/b][/quote] This is the essence of the problem. THAT is why it's bad manners. Very, very few adults would ever say to someone out loud, "Hey -- hold that thought. I see Liz walking by and I am super curious to see what she's up to, and whether it's more interesting than you are. If it's not ... I'll be right back to you! Otherwise, I'm going to stand here with my back turned to you, ignoring you. Cool?" they wouldn't say that because it's rude as hell. And now, the <30s are going to chime in and assure me they can do both at the same time and 'multitask' and give equal attention to 2 conversations at the same time. Except, that's now been studied and science proves this is wrong, no matter how badly they want to believe it.[/quote]
