Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with this? I have a relative that does this all the time and it's beyond infuriating.
It's even gotten to the point where we'll be having a family discussion, they'll pull out there phone to text, come back to Earth, and then get furious with us because we don't fill them in to what they missed and restart the conversation at the point where they stopped listening.
