This x a jillion. Unless you're texting a loved one to tell them where their to find their insulin, put down the phone and give people your full attention.

I would pay for a sh@tload of meals

This is goddamned brilliant.

I don't need to look at my phone, I'll have Siri auto read every text and voicemail I get.

Bravo! I love it!

People... Put away your goddamn pacifiers for 30 minutes, you fricking tards.

/Love it!

//Cheers!

If the looser had to do this then less phones would be answered at meals ...

Unless your company pays your cellphone bill. Then it's voulantary anal for whoever picks it up first.

Sybarite: Also, Jenga.

Until the bottom phone rings on vibrate.

I too think this is marvelous. The boyfriend and I were out to dinner a couple of weeks ago, and this couple were seated at the table right next to us, and he spent the majority of the time we were there, messing around with his iPhone. She was a rather attractive woman, and she had on a really cute dress (dark blue, my favorite color), and he spent more time staring at the phone than her. I asked my boyfriend what the odds were that he was getting laid at the end of the night, and he laughed and said the same odds as the Pope becoming a Jew.

Priorities, gentlemen. Priorities. I'm sure a lady would rather you stare at her tits all night and make awkward attempts at conversation than pretend you're on a date with your Blackberry.

As the meal goes on, you'll hear various texts and emails arriving...

FAIL! YOU farkING FAIL!!!

Turn them off! Nobody wants to hear your phone blasting Who Let the Dogs Out for 30 seconds every 10 minutes.

This is an awesome idea. Nothing's worse than going to the bar with your old friends you haven't seen in years, only to watch them text/call their girlfriends for half the time.

Lordy, you'd have to be "looser" to fit that up there.

Talk about a first world problem.

And if someone would rather play with their phone than talk to you, the problem is that you're boring.

Ennuipoet: Finally, a game I can win consistently!

cause nobody calls you, right?

Considering the couple friends I regularly hang out with are on call and can be reprimanded or even fired for not answering their phone, I love this idea.

KidneyStone: Stupid.

When my phones rings it is usually in my best interest to answer it. All of my friends and family use e-mail for things that aren't time sensitive, texts for things that may be a little time sensitive, and calls when it's urgent (which is usually work). I don't have kids but I imagine parents would want to answer their phone if their child is calling.

And I'm not one of those people that lives on the phone nor do I have any friends that are. Cell phone conversations are usually very brief.

If I get a call for work it's an emergency then with this game it would be a choice of "do i foot lunch for the crew" or "do I feel like getting canned"

Exact opposite for me. Since my friends and family use texts and email, I know answering a call will probably be a waste of my time. If I had kids, I'd probably feel different but I don't.

As someone whose every acquaintance has a BB or iPhone I like this idea.

/I came here hoping the idea would be applicable to movie theaters.

I was out with friends for drinks one night. This guy walks in with his stunning date. I knew she was hot because every guy at our table took note, and then the girls with us got catty (talking shiat). I started to notice he was talking to her, it was too far away, but I'm sure he was going into a funny anecdote of some sorts. She's holding up her phone texting. He stops talking, and then I could read her lips. "no no, I'm listening."
/poor sob probably put up with it the whole night for the lil princess

In before anyone else points out that having a cell phone is like walking around on a leash. Go on, jerk at the choke chain when it make a noise, retards.

/I'm sure you'll be warm with all the memories of having had the latest phone and unlimited minutes when you're eating Alpo in retirement.

HaywoodJablonski: I would pay for a sh@tload of meals

I feel your pain. Youre either:

A. An organ transplant surgeon on call 24 7.

-or-

B. A douche nozzle.

/Hhhhhmmm... Decisions, decisions....

Thrakkerzog: I like the idea, but there are two things to be concerned with:

1. Phones are pretty unsanitary.
2. A spilled beverage could destroy all of the phones.

Yah, because the level of a spilled beverage usually rises 2-3 inches on the table.

Where is it you eat where there is a concern over beverages mass flooding a table.

/always puts my cell phone on the table; have yet to have it come in contact with any beverages.

/yah know, there are places on the table that are pretty much immune to beverage contact

How about just turning your phone off when you don't want to be disturbed, or putting it on silent mode? Who needs to be instantly reachable at every moment of the day?

I'd go ahead and answer the phone and then later excuse myself to the men's room and then leave and let the rest of them decide on the bill,including mine.

/don't like my phone, then tuff shiat
//answering a phone in a restaurant is no big deal
///don't be so boring that I have the need to talk to somebody more interesting

Oh, and that menu youre holding, that salt shaker youre using Bubble Boy? Theyre covered in fecal particulate. Doesn't matter how upscale the restaurant is, youre always bathing yourself in feces pieces (sounds like a great name for a snack) each and every time you go out to eat.

This idea is farking retarded. When you're in a restaurant, turn the farking ringer off on your phone. I can't imagine tables full of stacked phones going off. Whoever thought up this idea is pretty much completely lacking in manners.

I guess it's a good way to get women and middle managers to stop going out to lunch with you.

feces pieces

This is gonna be the name of my next band

eddyatwork: I love this idea. If I'm going out with you to a bar or restaurant, I think it's pretty damn rude to ignore me when I'm sitting there in front of you to answer your phone and text people.

I grew up in a family where it was acceptable to read during dinner (and generally, a good way to ignore Dad) so it doesn't bother me. I'll check my texts if one comes in during a meal, but I don't answer then or answer the phone while I'm with others, as that's just inconsiderate.

It's time to point out that because you have a cell phone, it does not prove your importance It's no longer a sign
of status or importance when anyone can waddle down to most 7-11 or Circle K and get one. Now it
has become a pissing contest of who can get the most expensive version of this toy and pay the most
per month and complain about it as a sign of conspicuous consumption.
