I tweeted this a few minutes ago.
My cousin posted on my wall "Ha! That profile pic says it all." I agreed and then I took to Twitter. It made me think about how annoyed my friends have gotten in the past when I'm on my phone and I wonder why. It's NOT like I stay on it all of the time, but what's wrong with my checking my phone or responding to a text or tweet when I'm with my friends? And let's be clear, I'm NOWHERE near where I want to be professionally (outside of my 9-5 that is) so when things REALLY get poppin', the annoyance and gasps will most assuredly be disregarded. Maybe it's more acceptable if it's for work? IDK, but I look at shows like the Kardashians, specifically Kim and I think "Now there's a reason to be annoyed." I stand firmly that I'm not like that, but I'm not ruling out the future possibility. So for now, you guys have to deal with it.
I try not to text/tweet/etc when I am with friends or on a date. BUT you know I love Twitter so it can be difficult sometimes... In class I tweet because it helps to pass the time and to check in on what other people are doing.
ReplyDeleteI guess it depends on if it's a one on one situation and your friend/family/date is trying to have a direct conversation with you at that moment.
