Also didn't read the entire thread but came to post the same exact thing that Wal and Jim did...

That don't bother me NEARLY as much as the text message cellphone thing does though. I play in bands with guys a lot younger than me and whenever we go out to eat, or get together for a meeting or something it freaking pisses me off bigtime. 4 guys sitting at a table typing into little pieces of plastic as opposed to talking with the people they're with. I'd take it presonally if they weren't doing to each other at the same time.
It's the same thing at work. The cafeteria used to be a place everyone would hang and talk. Lots of us still do, but there are now tables where you see the younger workers sitting together all doing facebook, or twitter, or whatever and not even looking at each other, I asked a friend of mine if his kid was obsessed with that stuff, and he said, "are you kidding, he talks in his sleep like this (and he made the text messaging motion.).
I HATE TEXTING! IT'S GOING TO DESTROY OUR WORLD!
