image by: agefotostock.comi ate out tonight. there's this burger place i love going to when i have a hankering for a good old grilled burger and fries. i wasn't really planning on eating out or alone for that matter, but i had to go downtown to get airline tickets for the bf's brother. my bf cannot be bothered to do it because he just has to exercise. i hurriedly went to the ticketing office before it closed (i had to call ahead-luckily my cousin works there) i got there just on the nick of time, after braving after work traffic and all. when i was done, i proceeded to go home. i decided to eat out since the burger joint was along the way-i had chosen an alternate route with minimal traffic.
after placing my order, i sat on the booth and read my paperback. after a time, a couple arrived and sat in the table next to me. they looked like college kids and sat opposite each other. once they sat, they each whipped out their iPhones and ignored each other. they would only talk to each other to show a picture or something in the phone and be quiet again. the boy's order arrived first. he ate ahead while his girlfriend was still focused on her phone. that amazed me. when the bf and i eat out, we don't ignore each other. we talk, discuss and communicate. in fact, we find cellphones distracting. we only get our phones if there's a text message or call. although, i must admit that i see that in my younger brother. he is so glued to his cellphone and it is constantly ringing. but if you're with your special someone, you're not supposed to do that. it's rude, in my opinion.
the picture i'm using showed an older couple but i hope you get the point. maybe they're just a tad too excited over their iPhones or they drifting apart. i don't know. but if you are in a relationship, i think it would be a bad idea to spend more time with your phone than your partner.
