You know what’s Not on Roids, but is definitely grating on everyones last nerve? Your smartphone habits. Seriously, we all do it, and then we complain about other people doing it. It’s a vicious cycle of digital annoyance, folks!
Let’s address the elephant in the room: driving while glued to your phone. Yes, it’s illegal in most states, but apparently legality is just a suggestion to some drivers. The U.S. government has statistics – horrifying ones – proving that fiddling with your device behind the wheel makes you four times more likely to crash and injure yourself! Four times! Are those likes really worth risking someones life? Probably not. Silencing your phone before getting in the car is a simple fix, people. Just do it.
And then there’s dinner. Oh, glorious dinner, meant for conversation and sustenance, now routinely interrupted by the glow of screens. Apparently, checking Facebook while sharing a meal with someone you like is considered rude? Shocking! Ranae780 gets it – shes fed up with her boyfriend prioritizing pixels over actual human interaction. He would rather spend his time looking at [things] on his phone…than talking to me. Ouch, Ranae. We feel your pain.
Look, we’re all guilty of something. But a little awareness goes a long way. Maybe put the phone down, look up, and engage with the world around you. Your friends (and potentially, oncoming traffic) will thank you.
