My brother uses a cellphone at the dinner table at family gatherings and he even plays a video while the rest of us are talking.

My friend was using his cellphone during a poker game with the phone stand up so he can scroll while we're playing. He also just throws iPads to his kids this entire weekend at cottage.

I'm gonna copy Seinfeld (especially with his pro-IDF shit but anyways ...) about cellphones about rudeness but do we even know what rudeness is any more? it's like I'm gonna hold this device to your face and then I'm going to compare what's more interesting to me ...
