Took my niece (16ish) to a college Hockey game and the whole time she wasted texting ! I asked her to stop and it was like there is an addiction because she actually seemed to have withdrawl symptoms any similar experiences comments ?
oucchhhhhYep i know people like that. It drives me nuts, its quite rude actually. What better way to say Hey I can't stand the time I'm with you so I'll redeem it texting the ones I'd rather be with.

I'll it admit it can get quite addicting!! I stopped completely about 7 moths and have yet to get my new blackberry in fear I might beginning acting as the people im constantly calling idiots for texting... Only thing I hate about it as you said was the fact that you ca get much more done in a phone call often times idiots will respond with one worded messages! You therefore have to ask a specific follow up question which is even more time consumption wasted on mashing the keypad....i used to text alot too. not much anymore though. its too distracting, and you can get 100x more done in a 5 min conversation than texting for an hour
Exactly. The only thing I got from texting was lower productivity and a dirty keypad.I'll it admit it can get quite addicting!!

Cell phones in the gym are clearly a distraction ! Try not to loose focus, on the otherhand getting upset about it might push you for one more rep. Perhaps it should be like going to the movies, turn them off or leave um in a locker. I'm sure in case of an emergency the person could call the gym directly and they could page/reach you to relay an important message.It truly is an addiction. I cannot stand to be around people that cannot keep their hands from looking at their phone every 5 minutes. There was a teenager in the gym the other day that would do a set and then get his phone out and start texting. I wanted to drop an 80 lb dumbell on his phone.:rant:
But to the text junkie one missed test message could mean the end....:toofunny:Cell phones in the gym are clearly a distraction !

Don't hate the game, hate the player?texting isnt the bad guy here.. its the people who over-use it while around others
hahah nah its all good.. if one of my boys does it when we are out... the rest of us will make him own up for itDon't hate the game, hate the player?
Just with everything else, there are the fools who misuse and abuse. I am guilty, though not w/ texting.
Do you ever text during fights?I usually only text during class, so I can stay awake. I do find myself texting a hell of a lot more than I used to for whatever reason.
Only when I'm walking to the cage. Seriously, though, I usually spend half an hour afterwards texting people.Do you ever text during fights?
/dude, I am SO going 2 knock this mo-fo ou....OW OW OW
