TGJ 201- Texting in Social Situations

1. My thoughts on texting in social situations are that it can be very rude and inappropriate. In some situations it can be okay as long as the person is in control of their texting and aware of the people around them and the conversation that may occur. In a situation where the person is totally oblivious to the people around them especially when people are attempting to make conversation it can be rude.

2. Yes, I can find it rude sometimes. As long as the person is still participating in the conversation and isn't ignoring what I'm saying and keep zoning out of the conversation it is fine. IF the persons phone becomes a main focus instead of the conversation it can be very annoying.

        Lisa's Fabulous list of Texting Etiquette!

1. When participating in a conversation, the person/people become the main focus not the phone. 
2. When going into a deeper level of conversation with someone put away your phone. 
3. Eye contact should be made with the person more than with your phone. 
4. Unless it is an emergency, do not text when talking to people and if that is the situation you should excuse yourself. 
5. If you decide to put yourself in a social situation, your attention belongs to the people around you NOT the people you are texting.
