Can You Get Away With Being An Arsehole If You’re On The Phone?


You know the move: Someone approaches, trying to talk to you — maybe it’s important! — but you hunch your neck, shoosh them, point at the phone, and stare at them like they just took a dump in the middle of your mother’s tupperware party. And they shut up.

I’m not saying this is a good thing. It sucks. We live in a totalitarian Phone Dick regime.
