Ugh...I have been the victim of iPhone neglect and it is beyond rude. My ex would invite me over and then spend the whole night playing with his stupid phone and ignoring me. I feel your pain!
I already said that it is rude to be on your I phone during half of dinner and they made a joke of it. Oh, well, people are who they are and I will just not put my energy into maintaining it. I'm the one who always checks up on plans we've made. I got tired of that too. We had plans on either Weds or Thurs this week and I just let the days go by and nothing happened.
I know someone who does that too...only she's on it through EVERYTHING, not just dinner. It drives me absolutely crazy! I said something to her about it once and you know what she did? She started telling me what people were saying and posting in texts and on Facebook. Like I cared? I didn't even know who the heck she was talking about!
The final straw was this past summer. I had just had one of THE worst days of my life and I was pretty distraught. She asked me what was wrong and I was telling her; meanwhile, she is pecking away at her phone. And then she giggled. I stopped talking and said "Really? I didn't think it was funny. But thanks for your support." She lost the smile on her face and said "Sorry....so-and-so said something really funny. What were you saying?"
I got up from her couch and walked out the front door. A few minutes later she sends me a text to apologize. No call - a stupid text.
Okay...I kinda went off on a tangent there That was the long way of saying that I can relate to your frustration with the texting during dinner
Ugh, I dated a phone guy for a few months last year. Not only would he answer calls and texts, he would stop our conversation to make a "quick call." I finally got to the point that I only agreed to go out with him if his phone stayed in my purse. Then, it just fizzled cause I noticed all his other flaws without the big phone flaw in the way.

Sounds like the same person. When she did that during dinner she was like "OMG guess what so and so just emailed me." Then typing away. Then "OMG blah blah blah" Typing some more. Then "Blah blah blah" At that point I'm spacing out and have an urge to get up and walk to my car. I didn't and just pretended like I didn't hear anything she was saying. What a fantasitic conversationalist! We've been friends for years, but now she's off in some boring world. Maybe she can just go to dinner by herself and her I Phone.

I should have done that. Probably could have saved myself a lot of heartache and MONEY! LOL

I`m sorry....some ppl just "don`t get it!"
I would see how long it takes them to contact you.
Well, they were the last to text but after a day. I'll just text something like "hey!" then leave it at that. Oh well, I guess I have been mostly spending time working and have not made any effort into meeting new people. I guess I need to do that and not rely just on the old ones.

I hear ya!
Funny thing about the woman I was referring to...she is the type that HAS to have people around her all the time. She hates being alone. Yet now that she has that stupid phone, she makes whomever she is with feel like THEY are alone.
Ya know, I have a BlackBerry and yes...it is with me nearly everywhere I go. But there are times when it's just not cool to be using it. A person has to know those boundaries if they expect to maintain good relationships.
LOL, they should have an app where every minute or so a pic of someone rolling their eyes, or looking around or yawning would work.
