12. Phone Etiquette
Your iPhone is permanently attached to your hand and you spend more time with your head down texting and updating your Facebook status than you do carrying on any actual one-on-one conversations. It isn’t bad enough that you are perma-glued to your phone but you actually think people equate you talking or texting on your phone to importance! It couldn’t be further from the truth!
Your phone addiction is made worse when you take calls during dates or public settings in general— restaurants, movie theaters, classrooms, etc. Talking loudly and not doing anything to lower your volume or excuse yourself to take the call is arrogant and rude. We don’t care how incredible last night was or about the millions in your bank account. Please do yourself a favor if you don’t want to be seen as a douche, put the phone away. Throwing a genuine smile our way will definitely put you a lot further ahead than doing anything with your phone.
