This is one of the subjects that make me the most furious, so be prepared.
You know when you try to spend time with a friend, you say hello and you maybe pick out a movie, or get a game set up, or pick up a menu and start discussing food items, if you meet them at a restraunt but then...
They pull out their phone and couldn't give less of a shit about you.
Why?!?!??!
I mean, do you think I invited you to hang out with me so I could watch you stare at your phone and ignore me all day? Hell no!
This has happened many, many, times with every friend I've ever made. (It's not really very many... but you get the idea.)
I swear, the only reason people come to my house is for the wifi.
It got so annoying, that I really wanted to disable the router whenever anyone came over so there'd be no wifi.
I do use my phone when people are over, but that is occasionally and when necessary, not shoving my face into the phone and scrolling through social media while someone is trying to talk to me.
It's okay to answer texts and such, and to play games on your phone or whatever if there isn't anything to do, (For example: Being in the car.) But for God's sake, put the freaking phone down whenever you're hanging out with someone.
If you're playing on your phone whenever I'm trying to hang out with you, it isn't hanging out and has no meaning whatsoever. I'm just sitting nearby you while you have your face shoved into your phone squealing about the next 1D concert or some shit.
I had this one friend who came over and, well... she is the most basic girl ever. All she did the entire time was take selfies, look on social media, made stupid vines, and squealed and screamed about anything Magcon posted or whatever.
I've stopped inviting people over because I know it won't be any use, it'll just he the same thing every time, they sit and scroll through social media, I hit myself in the face over and over with a gigantic book, I cri, I put some bandages on my face, the "friend" continues to not give a shit, they finally fall asleep with the glow of their extremely bright screen keeping me up, and the next day they are on social media from the time they wake up, and then they leave, and I cry in joy that I won't soon have to hear the words "Selfie" and "Hashtag" and see that the only thing they do is scroll through Facebook or Instagram!!
I'm at the mall, and I look around me. I expect to see people walking around with shopping bags and browsing stores, maybe a few hundred basic girls getting pumpkin spice latees at Starbucks while taking a billion selfies.
I only see one of the three (I bet you can guess which one that is, *Cough* *Choke* The last one *Coughs up brain*) Along with basic Starbucks girls, I see every person there on their freaking phone, and guess what I see when I snoop around and notice what's on their screen? Social media.
Why even go to a place if you're going to do nothing more than just play on your phone the whole time?! You might as well just stay home, it'll be the same thing to have your hands and face glued to the phone at the mall as it would be at home.
Or, what about the billion times a day we almost get a vehicle smashed into the one we're in, due to some shitbag playing on their phone while driving? Stay off your phone while driving, and no, not only because it's stupid and annoying, but it can get people killed!!
There's no human interaction anymore! I see two friends sitting beside each other, I see that they are just texting each other (Even though they're centimeters apart) or drooling over pictures they find of social media of "Hot boys" coffee, and other basic crap.
Well, my point is that, if you are going to spend all day playing on your phone when you are supposedly "Spending time and hanging out" with me,
Get the fuck away from either me, or the phone.
Me: Hey As(s)hley, glad you could come and hang out with me!
As(s)hley: yeh, kewl, did u see the new Facebook update?
Me: I don't even have Facebook. *Restrains myself from strangling her.*
Ashley: O, u should totally get one.
Me: No. *Evil glare.*
Me: So... what movie do you want to watch?
*Silence*
Me: HELLO!?!?
*Looks over and sees Ashley with her hands glued to the phone while making a bunch of stupid faces and taking a billion selfies for every single one. She holds her pumpkin spice latee in the air to take a picture of it, but she drops it. *
Asshley: OH NO!! MY LATEE!!!!!! NNOOOOOOOOOOOO!
*Checks phone*
Ashley: AGGGGGHHHHH!!! MY SELFIES ARE BLURRY!!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!
*Starts crying uncontrollably*
*Takes selfies of her crying to post on social media to fish for sympathy and compliments.*
Me: Ugh... I give up... I'm just gonna stop inviting people over. I'll get a pet rock, I'll marry him and be renamed Mrs. Rocky, and I'll be a lonely old woman, then I'll die, but anything is better than this.
*Turns off router and puts troll face mask and music on.*
Ashley: OH MY GOSH THE WIFI WENT OFF!!! NOW I CAN'T GET ON SOCIAL MEDIA AND I CANT POST SELFIES WHWHWHWHAHAUIGICOWKTBFJ!!!!
Me: Welp, that should do it.
*Puts basic crybaby into a wheelbarrow, shoves a pacifier in her mouth, and rolls it out the front door, and slams the door as she rolls away sobbing.*
Me: What's that noise...?
*In the distance*
Ashley: WAAAAGGGGGJHHHHHHHJRJTJGIKDKWKEKTJGJHFHWKQOWOOEOTOGIDIWJWHRVFHUDIWJRJCJSIWIRJDJSJFUUUUUUUUUUUUCRIJEIRJGISOOEOGIFOWORIFISOPQ
*Puts earbuds in.*
