I was at a fundraiser dinner for a school friend the other night, and only one of my other friends managed to show up. She had invited an old high school buddy, and while they were both very nice and friendly, they spent the majority of the evening talking to each other about old times (understandable!) and texting (less so) while I sat there like the most awkward third wheel to have ever been an awkward third wheel. Why, Meme, why do people think it's okay to text through dinner while in the company of real life people? I regretted going. :(
I do not know why people do that. It drives me crazy. I have a friend who's roommate always sits and texts the whole time whenever we get together to the point that I don't want to go anywhere with her. My friend is very offended by this like I'm making too big a deal of it.
Thanks for commiserating with me, despite my egregious lack of a title. Yeah, it's just incredibly frustrating trying to interact with someone with their fingers glued to their cellphone keys. Too bad your friend doesn't get why it might bother people.
