This is not a question: I think it's rude to play with your phone when you're with somebody
-
utterly and despicably rude (in fact somebody should write an app - if user play with their phone while their friends is in proximity the app would loudly remind the sucker he/she should turn off the device)

I recently watched a couple in a restaurant where the guy was constantly fiddling with his phone and ignoring his partner, she eventually got out her own phone and started fiddling with it. Both of them sitting there playing with their phones in a restaurant FFS. Watched another guy fall over at the end of an escalator b/c he was concentrating on the phone, split his head and busted the phone, karma I call it!
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity RAH

And that is the reaction I would have expected to see from a female, that or just belt him one!

It depends to some extent. Few years back while I was out to eat with my fiancee I had some older lady who I'd been trying tune out for a half hour tap me on the shoulder and say I deserved someone better because she'd been playing a game since we sat down. But here's the thing we in the same office, we talk about random things through out the day. That particular day I'd spent hurriedly designing a new major system, so I'm completely tired and was as good company as a rock, more or less sleeping at the table. That said, playing with one in a meeting should be grounds for execution.

Ok. But like everything in a living culture, things change. There are probably many things that you take for granted that would have been considered rude in the past. And things that were common in the past would not only be rude but illegal now.

Rather certain that your comment does not apply to me. The fact that I don't consider it rude when other people play with their phones doesn't mean that I do so. But I do not do it because it is rude but rather because I am paying attention to the other person.
