You'd think it would be. Regularly at bars / restaurants when I'm with other people they'll just check their streams during conversations. Usually it's because they got a text first and one thing leads to another. Even when you get a text, to me, I think it's just general good manners to excuse yourself.. "Sorry, I think my wife just sent me a text, do you mind if I check it"? I'd like to say it was just an age thing, but I see it all the time around my tech professional friends.
