Dear Queenie,
I get so disgusted when someone I’m with starts using their cell phone instead of talking to me. When they do that when we’re eating in a restaurant I just walk away and leave it up to them pay the bill.
Queenie, why are people so rude?—Cell phone Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
Has it not occurred to you that they think you are being rude for just walking away and leaving the bill for them to pay?
In a case like this you should tell the person why you are leaving. Better yet, say something to them when they first reach for their cell phone.
