I'm practicing with this new fangled smarty smart phone, so when the younger generation takes over, I'll be ready.
Just learn to twitter and instagram. Then pm me how to do it, because I don't know or much care.I'm practicing with this new fangled smarty smart phone, so when the younger generation takes over, I'll be ready.

You're my new best friend. Just because you realize it's a phone, not a typewriter.Oh, I'm not actually going to do any of that stuff, I just have the phone to do it with now, just to look the part. LOL
Yeah, my kids do that all the time. Drives me crazy. What would they do without that phone? Maybe go play outside, like we did.Been out to eat, seen the entire family sitting there completely dorked out on their phones. Food is sitting there getting cold, thinking to myself, wish my Grandfather was here, he'd go twist their ears 'till they put down the phones and picked up a fork,LOL
completely dorked out
That's a real live technical term......all the best psychologist use it.
So much for being on the cutting edge of vocabulary.
I caught flack from my wife's uncle last weekend for being on my phone. He's probably late 60's and was just being a prick. I didn't take to kindly to it. It's not like I was veged out on it for an hour. Up until that point my phone hadn't come out of my pocket all nigh. I just sat down to catch a break from refereeing the 6 unruly kids (3-6yrs) ramming around the house and playing on the stairs when my wife asked my to go out and get the dogs bed (FFS the dog need a bed!). I told her no and just wanted a min to relax but he heard me tell her no and went on a rant about kids and their phones yada yada yada (mean while my two nephews 18+19 had been glued to their phone in front of the TV for about 2 hours at that point). Anyways, it still burns my ass because I make an honest effort to not be one of those parents that's glued to a phone as their child is begging for their attention whether it's just shopping at the grocery store or sitting down for dinner. The phone can wait. So it irked me that he got on his high horse about it. Anyways, I digress.Been out to eat, seen the entire family sitting there completely dorked out on their phones.

you people moaning and groaning about this present society and generation isn't going to change anything.
don't dwell on it and move on.
