I get so few calls that I do check to see who it is, and sometimes it is
important. Sometimes I am expecting an important call. I can forgive
someone checking to see who is calling and explains they have to take
the call. What I see, that I think is very rude, is people in
conversations taking their phone out and constantly checking it.... for
what? Calls and texts usually have a tone, so maybe they are checking
Facebook or Instagram? It's very rude.

I can't understand why people out walking or shopping have to have a
phone glued to their ear. There can't be that much going on in their
lives if they have the time to be out.
