You’ll all be proud that for one moment, humanity came together to fight this existential threat. On Saturday, my wife and I walked into one of those bowl assembly places (think Bento or Chipotle but this is South American food). Woman a few places ahead in line is loudly FaceTiming and the entire restaurant was giving her dirty looks.

another woman enters the restaurant, gets behind us in line, and pointedly asks us “has she been doing that the whole time?”. Offender looks up, sees the whole restaurant staring at her, and flees the store.

I don't think there's anything resembling humanity in FL.

I was on the Metro North(regional NY/CT commuter train) this past wknd. I am sitting quietly, drinking a beer, and a woman gets on the train Factimining and sits in the empty seat adjacent to mine.

I waited 10 seconds expecting her to end the call, and she didn't. I gave her that, GET THE **** OFF THE PHONE, look and less than 15 seconds later, she did.

Don't mess with my buzz on a Saturday morning!

(Yes I had headphones...but that ain't da point!)

I'm sure you'll all be surprised to know I have no problems with, "Get the **** off Facetime," if the need arises.

Facetiming while walking down the street...or sitting in a restaurant.....or waiting to pay for something at a store....or......
I'm home for lunch, and my phone has a magnetic case that I stick to the fridge while I make my sandwich, whatever...
The phone rings, and I click answer. It's my VP, who is a woman.
"OH MY GOD YOU'RE NAKED"
I realize she called me FaceTime, and to put it all in context, I take my shirt off when I'm home for lunch so I don't slop anything on my Styfo shirts.

He couldn't take pics- he was stuck in an appliance when she called.
