Wow, I wish some of you ladies could sit down and explain this to some of the adults that I deal with on a day to day basis.
Over the last couple months I have witnessed some very strange incidents of people using cell phones in a "stalkerish" manner. One had to be dealt with on a disciplinary level at work. Having to speak to a 30something man about repeated prohibited cell phone use while on duty was very uncomfotable to say the least. And it got just plain weird when he told me "I have to see where my girlfriend is and who she is with." I'm pretty sure at that point I had the "Oh boy, we got a strange one here" look on my face.
Another time I was having lunch in the employee dining room and one of the young bussers from the restaurant came in for break. She immediately started calling someone. Several someones as it turned out. None of whom answered. And was totally pi$$ed that no one was answering. Went into a rant that they all knew what time her break was and that she would be calling. Why wouldn't they answer??
Um, maybe because your behavior is more than a little scary and they are trying to distance themselves.
I do think some people have gotten to a point where they are trying to regain what access others have to their time and thoughts. Hopefully in your teaching your kids another form of impulse control, they will think about it before they give others that much input in their day to day lives.
*Please excuse any grammer or spelling errors. I laid my glasses somewhere and can't remember where. And also I'm not that good at spelling and grammer.
