Post 5 -2014 Put down the phones at dinner

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone at the dinner table pulls out their phones instead of holding a conversation. It's rude and disrespectful. It's telling that person your phone and whatever you are doing on it is less important than the person you are dining with.  This drives me bananas especially when it's just two people and in a restaurant. Especially since I'm the type that doesn't like to be idle.  It hurts my feelings as well.  Unless you are a doctor, are waiting on others to arrive, or need it out in case of emergencies,  your phone should be put away or on silent. 

Conversation seems to be lost.  Next time you are with someone eating, put your phone away and enjoy them!
