When you are out with people, how do you ask people to put their damn phones away without making things awkward?
 
If i want someone to put down their phone i would ask and if they dont well phones on the ground smashed seem fun.
 
I think I'd just try to keep them more interested as opposed to asking them to put their phone away. Honestly, it doesn't really bug me, though. The only situation I think it would bother me is if I were on a date, but I haven't done that in over ten years.
 
Only time I ask is when I'm in the theater trying to watch a movie and there is some one texting on their phone and the light and the constant tapping is distracting me while they're doing it. Disrespectful if you ask me.

I would give them a few moments to put it in their pocket first.
 
Then you'll turn into an abusive and confrontational person?
 
My ex used to be on her cellphone nonstop when she was with me.

So yeah, I would only because she was a dumb ass b*tch who caused me to hate people.
