Texting in the movies

Share

SO I got a real beat down on the air this morning. Wow. We were talking about cell phone etiquette and someone brought up talking on the phone while you're in the movies. Not cool. I agree.
But the beat down came when I admitted that I will sometimes text while in a movie. Now, I don't do it all the time and I conceal the bright light, and I didn't think it was a big deal.
Apparently I am the only one in the world who thought this was no big deal. I am a relational person. I don't text when I'm with other people that I am relating to. But in the movies, no one's talking to me- they're watching the movie. Why is what I'm doing an issue for them? This was my line of thinking. I always want to give people my full attention when I'm with them. I feel passionately about this! I tell people- put the cell phone away! I'm right here!
But a movie felt different to me. So after a beat down by everyone disagreeing with me, I have decided.. You're all right. I am wrong. And I won't text in the movies anymore. So if you're one of those people who text people while they're in the movies, cut it out. I can't talk to you now. Pass the popcorn.
Love,
