I’m throwing this out there, be forewarned. If you use a connected device during mealtime, i.e sending a text, a tweet, an email, a status update, or take a call or surf the web on your iPhone in a way that doesn’t add to the conversation at hand, I consider you a jackass.
My belief is that if the Internet were invented 100 years ago, the etiquette of the day would have prevented horrible behavior like this.
And if you’re driving and typing at the same time, you’re lower than a drunk driver in terms of responsibility to your community and your loved ones.
Rant over. Just my 2 cents.
