flyingsaucersarereal Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Ok so everywhere I go there is someone that is at work playing on there phone. I want to buy some clothes there on the phone. I go to the gym there on the phone. I try to order a some food there on the phone. Is it just me or doesn't anyone else feel like the phone usage is getting obscene. Sorry that you have to work or maybe don't love your job but I would like to buy something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 OP, if you can't beat them join them. That's what I did. Bought one of those smart phones recently and keep moving my fingers up and down on the screen. Not that there is anything to see there but at least I don't feel an outsider from the social trend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phra Ek Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Lighten up guys! Some jobs are just dull - and chatting with your friends can fill the gap between customers. Just say 'wat dee krap' to the shop assistant and smile - and normal service will be resumed. How much time do we waste on ThaiVisa? ..... same thing. And yes - I have a selfie-stick too - it's just a good fun way to take a group shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hanno Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Same in the US. I think women will eventually just be born with a cellphone as part of their hand with their next mutation. I have seen plenty of men with phones glued to their hands or ears. Preferably in a train/airport lounge/cinema discussing all this multi-million Dollar deals they are working on .

starky Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 maybe they are on their phones since that is pretty much what every self absorbed person has been doing since smart phones with net access have existed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKKdreaming Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) I set my phones alarm to ring every 10 minutes so everyone thinks I am important getting phone calls Then I answer in German , french, Japanese even when I do not know a word of it ! Ohhh and put Line on speaker so every time you get a message everyone knows. Plus I gave up on the selfie stick , I have a selfie Burmese whose job it is to take photos of me with a big camera and no film, And I learned all of this living in Hollywood where pretending is as good as doing Edited February 11, 2015 by BKKdreaming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
