Technology changes the way we interact with others and changes in the law does as well. Since theft is becoming a non-crime, even law abiding people indulge.
Yep. So does anonymous forum names. A lot of people interact differently when people don't know who they are. Keyboard courage or stupidity.

I often forget to take my phone with me and leave it at home so nobody can contact me 😉.

Grumpy does this ALL the time. Fine with me ... I wasn't gonna change my order from French fries to onion rings anyway ... 😾

I did an experiment once ... A LONG time ago. We went out for dinner and I waited to see how long it would take him to speak to me. Waitress came, took our order, brought our drinks ... 🤔 Next came the rolls and extra napkins and butter ... 🤔 Then came dinner ... Finally he put his phone down. 🤷🤷 It's okay. I kinda enjoyed the peace and quiet. 😏 I can't fault him too much because I know if I've been interested in what I was looking at I've probably done the same thing to him. BUT, we now leave our phones turned upside down over to the side.

I miss the days when the phone hung on the wall in the kitchen ... 😞
