Dear Queenie,
One of my friends has a habit of getting on her cell phone while we are talking to look up whatever we are talking about on the Internet.
Queenie, isn’t this rude? Should I say something?—Fed-up friend
Dear Friend,
Whether this is rude depends on why your friend does it. She may want to be certain you and/or she are getting things right and, if not, get more information about it and straighten out any mistakes, and is just trying to be helpful. If that is her attitude, just thank her for her input.
