ELECTRO RUDENESS

Here is Kevin Drum on Andrew Sullivan who both concur about the rudeness of holding your fucking device in your hand to glance at when you are socializing or, worse, doing some kind of business with other people. Especially friends.

Who's Being Rude

I know.

I know.

I just wrote about this.

But I can't help myself. It so pisses me off totally.

Drum speculates that it is age related. Well, duhh! Yes it is.

Of course, "the young" are always viewed as rude by their elders. I put in my time being as rude as possible.

I am emeritus on this practice.

So I have given a special permit to some of the young to go ahead and be rude. A pass.

But not with this stuff.

The thing is that I know some of these dolts are playing a game. I don't mean a social intercourse game. I mean a goddam game like "angry birds" whatever that is.

Another percentage are not doing anything but anticipating a call. Like the guy who you are talking to in a gay bar who is looking over your shoulder to see who else might be there that is prettier.

Sorry. You may not know about that one.

If you are a woman you know it. The guys are oblivious as they are the ones doing it.

And, god help us, the guys are oblivious to their own rudeness in any case. And in the world of hand helds they are even more so.

I would like to posit the notion that the hand held is an extension of their masculinity. After all, except for the flip top, the hand held is about the right shape and size. A bit thick but we like thick.

So, men. Get a bit self conscious. Realize that you are standing there with your dick in your hand and no one is even paying attention. No one is calling. There is not even a buzz.

That can't feel to satisfying can it?
