does it bother you when someone you are hanging with, gets a phone call that they continue?
Before cell phone there were none of these must-answer interruptions, of course.
Now the technology is here for everyone to be instantly available, but that doesn't mean that you have to be. If someone is socializing with me, I do not expect them to get on the phone with someone else...and if they do I expect that they will say that they are with someone else and keep the call down to less than a minute.
If that is a problem for them, then they are a problem for me.
If the phone call is from my sister telling me our mom is in an ambulance, you better believe I would continue with that call!
And any true friend would totally understand...
It bothers me.
I know some people take it for granted, that they must answer and converse.
to me - if they want to be with me, they can let the caller leave a message.
Depends on the situation.
Are you just hanging out with the person at his/her place? Then a short conversation isn't a problem.
If, on the other hand, a long conversation, especially at the dinner table and the whatnot, is rude. The only exception is an emergency.
