That said, I think people can be addicted to gadgets, games and/or the internet. Just yesterday I was standing in line at Qdoba trying to get some lunch but the lady in front of me apparently couldn't get off of her damned cell phone long enough to order.
Is that addictive behavior or just bad cell phone etiquette? |
I'd mostly say bad etiquette. If the server had any sense, they would have politely ignored her and taken others' orders until she hung up the phone. If she got bent out of shape, then politely ask her to leave, explaining why. Just my $0.02.
