I'll second that Troopie, just drives me nuts.

Cellphone users is another. You can't talk to some people anymore because they are on the phone while you just sit there. Even if the person you're talking to tries to get off the other won't quit. Either that or they are texting somebody, you might as well not be there.

Why is it that some people think you have nothing better to do than to talk to them on a cell, if you say your busy their feelings get hurt.

Went to a Christmas dinner at my sons GF. There were eight people there but only me, my son and his GF did any talking everybody else was either on a computer or cell. Nobody said anything to anybody most of the evening.

Maybe it's just me but it drives me crazy.

I cannot stand people whos reaction change as soon as someone important walks in they act like they would kiss their feet. Or how the well off get the special treatment instead of the not so well off, could never understand this, i seen this happen today one such man standing in line who was dressed in rags looking like a homeless chap was made to wait while the man in the fancy suit got served first. Made my blood boil i treat everyone the same in RL we are all the same in the flesh the only difference is how much money.

It's not just you. This is all to common these days. I've been to those family gatherings. You wonder why you are even there.

Just as bad. Meeting some one at a restaurant and the first thing they do is take out their cell and read their messages. I must be too old. I've never done that.
