FUF - Damn, Dirty Texters

You know, I'm a fan of texting. I hate HATE talking on the phone....I don't know what happened to me, seeing as when I was in high school, you couldn't get me OFF the phone. Maybe it's because the phone was the only means of communication back then? I don't know. Alls I know is that I can't stand talking on the phone now for pretty much any length of time. I hate the awkward pauses, I hate the times when you start talking at the same time as the other person, and then you both realize at the same time and stop talking, and then realize the other person has stopped for you so you start talking again ...at the same time. Fucking bullshit. So needless to say, I'm a text fan.
However, I am NOT a fan of people being so friggin enamoured with their phones that they take priority over things happening in REAL LIFE. There was a friend I hadn't seen in over a year that I saw recently who couldn't put her damn phone down the whole time...from texting her bf who was THERE WITH US and WHO SHE LIVES WITH. Honestly--I haven't seen you in a YEAR, and you need to find out if your bf is doing a number 1 or number 2? Come the FUCK ON. When I go out with people, even if I see them every damn day, I at least have the common courtesy of keeping my phone in my purse. I don't answer my phone if I'm out with someone, since humans you're with should come first, and then humans phoning. Of course there are times when exceptions must be made...but not that many. It blows me away sometimes seeing just how incredibly rude and selfish people have become.

Another shite thing I've noticed is how INTO their phones people are...if you're alone and on like, public transit let's say, and you're playing Angry Birds or some shit--that's cool. I get that. No problems there....but if you're at a concert or an event, and you can't tear your eyeballs away from your damn phone....why the hell did you even bother to leave your house? Why not just stay at home in your stupid underwears refreshing twitter/facebook/sadloser.com? As a performer, I can tell you that it is extremely distracting, and just plain rude. If you're going to come to my show and sit where I can see you, don't diss me by playing with your stupid phone the whole time. At least sit in the back so I can't see what a rude jerk you are.
So fuck you, all you damned self-important assholes!! I hope your phones get the technological version of PERMANENT CRABS AND DIE. Or that you can just learn some technomanners. For FUCK'S SAKE.
