Texting While Talking to Someone
We’ve all done it: you’re hanging out with someone, but the lure of your phone proves too strong, and before you know it, you’re shooing them a quick text and trying to ignore the enraged look beginning to form on your present company’s face.“The person in front of you comes first. However, we’re in this 24/7 world and we’re expected to be on call all the time.
If you’re having lunch with someone, your phone shouldn’t even be somewhere you should see it,” says Napier-Fitzpatrick.And if you do have a message or call that you can’t afford to miss while you’re out with someone? “Your phone should be in your pocket on vibrate, and you let the person know ahead of time that you might be taking a call and excuse yourself to do it,” she recommends.
