I tend to use texting/"checking my website" as a social cue to the person I'm with that I want to leave.
It is my way of going "I'm bored with you. I'm going to make the situation so awkward that you want to leave".
Here is a tip, friends, if I like you, either my phone and its battery are in physically separate locations, like one in the glove box and one in the trunk, or my phone is shut OFF...not on vibrate, not on silent, not on sleep; powered. off.
If it ISN'T, it means that I'm just using you to occupy my time...my phone is on because I'm hoping somebody more interesting calls me.
- blhack 17y agoJust to clarify: What I'm saying is that my phone is usually OFF when I'm with friends. This is why it infuriates me so much when people use theirs around me.
