It’s not the correct answer I’m after - it’s the conversation. If that were the goal, I could’ve just googled it myself. I’d much rather spend a few minutes speculating with you about what bird it might’ve been than have you immediately look up the right answer.

In most cases, when you feel tempted to take out your phone during a face-to-face interaction, you probably shouldn’t.

    Do you tell people this?

    One definition of “friend” is: a person with which I like to spend time together.

      Fair point. In the case of the person I thought of while writing this - no, I haven’t explicitly told them this though they do know how I feel about their phone use.

      Unspoken expectations are premeditated resentments.
