Rudeness

Well I posted a link on my FB wall about cell phone rudeness but I felt like it was blog worthy. And I have sooooo much more to say.
Ok I will be the first to admit I have whipped out my cell phone while out at dinner and out with friends and family. That being said I truly make a conscience effort to leave it in my purse when I am out with others. My friends will say oh your phone just beeped several times. I say oh that's nice. Because really it's more then likely some stupid email. Why do I need to check my phone for the latest status updates. It can wait.... why???.......ummm because the person I'm with is more important.
I want to be with you so please want to be with me.
I have friends who if I phone them will not pick up( and you know who you are :P ) but if I text them they will text me right back. What the heck!! They will text me but they don't want to talk to me. I don't understand. Why?? Please explain this to me.
We are so self absorbed as a society we truly have no idea what is going on around us. I witnessed one guy walk into on coming traffic because he was texting. We would rather be with our Ipad's, cell phones lab tops then with real people??
Nope not me I'm making a STAND you are either with me or not. I choose me because if you are going to be on your cell phone texting or browsing then I guess we are no longer hanging out. It's that simple. So George get your act together.LOL
No George is amazing with his cell phone as  I think it bugs him even more then me.
Ok confession time. I have a really bad habit and it drives George over the edge and we have got into major fights over it!
So when we are watching tv or  even a movie I will have my labtop in my lap. Sometimes I'm on pinterest sometimes I'm playing games or just browsing. Really doing nothing!!
I will miss something and say oh what happened? He will look at me and be well if you put that damn thing away and watch tv with me maybe you would know. The key word he said here "me". He wants me to want to be watching tv with him. I get it!!
So from here on in when George and I are watching a tv or a movie I am making a promise to him right now to have my labtop cell phone put away. To be present with him. He can hold this to me.
I choose him :)
We all can make a small effort to be present in our lives. Let's stop the rudeness and enjoy one another. I am old enough to remember  the time when we had no cell phone no computer and internet.
This new generation has no concept of this it's up to us to show them how to behave and act. Lead by example treat others how you want to be treated. It's quite simple :)
