A GM for a local TV station just did a video editorial in which he unloaded his frustrations at the MULTITUDE of young people who are unable to make it through a 90 minute movie without texting incessantly. I was ready to give him a standing ovation by the time he was done.

He did observe that his trip to see Gran Torino was an ENTIRELY different experience. He hypothesized that those drawn to see a Clint Eastwood movie were old enough to know better.

Personally, I have seen quite a few adults sitting around with their fingers tapping away, while oblivious to the world around them... including their children.

Shall we liken it to the old "frog in the pot" analogy? Has it become increasingly more acceptable to be rude and inconsiderate? Maybe we could all benefit from some manners instruction. That is... if we can put the cell phones down long enough to receive instruction. (I use the term "we" loosely :) )

I hate it when a visiting teenager, someone delivering a package, an adult guest, walks into my house talking on the phone with no cares about a polite greeting.

Or, as one of my kids' friends have done, enter my house, go straight to the couch or a bedroom to talk on the phone!

The conversation needs to stop before entering the house.
