What do you do when your friends are on the phone every time when you go out?
So i had 2 really recent experience which made me angry. 1 was for breakfast another was for outing (5pm to 11pm)
For breakfast, i managed to book a timing with my best friend and we went out to eat. When we met, i was berated for my life choices (education and talking style) then once we arrive and start ordering all the way till we went home, this person was on the phone texting or whatever.
I tried to talk and create subject (new phone/laptop/cute animals/gossips/jobs) but what the freak. Even when he put the phone down, he would be staring at it while cutting his bacon or egg or sausage.
Once we finished eating i suggested going for a stroll through the shopping mall to see some cool stuff or anything that catch our attention.
Whilst walking through the assortment of cool equipment and saying how “wa this is cool, wa maybe we can go do this with that equipment” i realised i was leading the way and it’s too quiet, so i turned around and see what? 10 meters away using phone.
At this point i just said “lets just go home”. Took the bus, all the way back, I stared out the window wondering why even try to make time for breakfast with others when i can do all this myself lmao. And i know it isn’t work related…
For my 2nd encounter with another good friend of mine. All this person wanted was to take photos. From ordering food to walking around. Photo photo photo.
I practically became a free photographer. And every photo i took i got critiqued, whether it be my angling, lighting or timing.
Like…i asked you out to catch up and have fun. Not become your photographer for 5 hours straight. Went home and slept immediately.
So my question is, what do you do here?

Leave. Clearly not respecting your time and you as a person so why stick around?
If first person wants to spend time on his phone, they can do it at home.
