Is this me getting old?
I'll join you in being old. I can't stand it when I'm in a store and some teenager is trying to both interact with a salesperson and text/talk/tweet/whatever. It's so rude! Seeing people use their smart phones during a movie fills me with near homicidal rage. There's an appropriate time and place to use a smart phone, and what bothers me is that most people don't seem to know that. Don't get me started about people who talk on the phone or text while driving...

Now get off my lawn!
