Valentine's day meal at the restaurant was funny

[Scott McD]

All the "happy couples" on their cellphones.


I really wish i had took a pic, but then that would have meant i'd have been just as bad as them (almost) so...

I went out for dinner last night with a group of friends

Food arrives and I start to dig in, then the shouts came.. stop stop someone reaches over takes the garnish of mint I'd tossed aside and replaces it on my meal, then 3 people stand over me photographing my dish, then I'm allowed to eat it.. so I thought, but nah then I get elbowed every 30 seconds.. look look, 5 people have liked that, now 10 and look 15 people!!! Like I'm supposed to be impressed by it.

And that was the appetiser, same process is repeated for the main course and every drink served. Dessert arrives.. I just got up and walked off to the bar.

And now for the punchline... this is with a bunch of 50 year olds..

Yeah the smartphone poison everywhere

Horrific. Would rather stay in the house than all that shit...

Did they take pics of deserts or just the fake healthy living salads.

Wasn't just the taking of pics. You could clearly see they were on fb probably reading about other peoples amazing valentine's day meals etc

Crazy . . . I see it everywhere too.

Me too, but not our group. They were around my age so the younger ones actually were talking to us!

I'm convinced that smart phones have made people stupid.

I fucking hate valentines day

so you didn´t take a photo to show and remember the evening and this makes you better than them...


how?

[NatalieK]

Yeah the smartphone poison everywhere

when i look around bars and everyone´s on their phones, texting or chatting with others and there´s like 4 or 5 people, maybe a family all silent, looking down, yes, poison...


but the point of this thread is pretty much hate filled, as before phones, the people would have cameras, everyone´s always taken photos of special occasions, tbh, shame things are all digital. Now you have to boot up the laptop to look through pics and not just go to the bottom drawer

Why go to out on a Valentine's Dinner on the first place?? they look so contrived . . .

newer generations treat it like crack, bizarre stuff

[Zuzana Designs]

I notice the same thing when I go out for dinner but I do like to get an occasional picture of my meals so I can look back on them and drool when I'm on a diet!

When the phone was wired .. people were free
