Put up the CELLPHONE!...

Every Time I visit Subway or any other sandwich shop..Why is there always somebody in line CONSTANTLY texting?....And they aren't taking the order...They order ONE SANDWICH and eat it there... I swear there were two young women in front of me and they were doing SO MUCH TEXTING..The lady behind the counter had to ask them twice..WHAT DO YOU WANT ON THIS SANDWICH?...Don't they realize some people only have a CERTAIN AMOUNT of time for lunch and they are up there texting away....One of these days...

+1. If I had a dollar for every woman I pass on the right while's she's yakking and camping the left lane, I'd buy a new LP.

I think that is why nature has already made our ears stick out a bit so that those waiting behind have a easy shot.

We have problems at the gym we go to with women texting and just sitting on machines and you can't get your workout done because they are exercising their little fingers. The gym ought to put in a lounge with recliner chairs so they can go in there and text to their hearts content.

Stop eating at Subway

A lot of people text while walking around here and it's seriously like avoiding drunk people. You know they're texting the stupidest sh*t too. "LOL! OMG" "r u here?" "k"

Nope, then they couldn't text that they're working out.

Two girls were texting with both hands and the lady behind the counter had to ask them TWICE..What do you want on the sandwich?.. Lunch Time rush hour and they couldn't wait until they got their food to do their texting.. I simply do not know how we EVER made it before Cell phones were invented!

Typing on the damn thing and NOT EVEN PAYING attention to the lady who was trying to wait on here...HUH?..HUH?...Some people only get 30 minutes to eat...Need to have their ORDER together before they step to the counter...It's not like it was the FIRST TIME TO SUBWAY

Driving to work in the early morning, I see kids on the corners waiting for the school bus.

They are all staring at their cell phones like little robots. Waiting for their marching orders?

speaking of girls texting, in the area i live you would be surprised at the number of men, mostly mid 20s and back, texting and yacking away. I ride a motorcycle frequently and they are hard enough to see when you're paying attention, now add a texting male/female or phone conversation. yikes.

I always lean in over their shoulder and ask "Who ya talkin' to?" with a big grin on my face. The usual reaction is an immediate end to the text conversation while a shroud of discomfort descends on the general vicinity.
