1. What are your thoughts on texting in social situations?
My thoughts on texting in social situations is that it isn't the greatest thing to do. When talking to someone in person, the main focus should be on them. If someone is trying to tell you something important but you are constantly pulling out your phone and texting someone else, it shows that you're not really interested in what they're saying which is really rude. Not putting your main focus on the person you're with could be extremely annoying and make the other person feel bad.
2. Do you find it rude if you're talking to somebody and they proceed to text continuously on their cell phone?
Yes, I do find it rude when I'm trying to talk to someone but they wont put their phone away no matter what. I personally think that the full attention should be on the person you're talking to in real life. In person the conversation goes by much quicker than when you're texting. Therefore people over the phone can wait meanwhile people in person should be what the main focus is on.
3. If you had to come up with a list of five etiquette rules for texting, they would be:
1. Ignore your phone while having a conversation with someone else in person.
2. Turn your phone off while in church.
3. Do not say extremely important things over text.
4. Dont text or use your phone while having a meal with people.
5. Dont text in movie theatres because of the strong light.
