I've been doing some flying recently and thus have been sitting really close to other people, and able to see their screens.
Wow. There are an INSANE number of people who are doing nothing but scrolling through those 10 second video clips. They'll do it for HOURS.
It's toxic and sad and kind of disgusting. I react very poorly to family doing that kind of scrolling. It's probably not the best way to react, but it's what I got. It's like I'm watching them playing with dogshit.

Exactly this. It's very off-putting and very disgusting

I was playing cards with friends last night. My friend, between each hand...picked up her phone and played about a minute or two of some game like a crossword, or scrabble, something like that.
So much for conversation. It's really noticeable when someone does that, it sucks the social energy out of the room.
I was shocked. This is an older lady, who's I thought was very socially aware. That even SHE would pick up her phone and play a game while people were actually at their house, visiting, I was appalled.
