Without giving too much info, I work with the public a great deal. I enjoy catering to, and entertaining people, inside and outside of the hobby. If I go alone to a bar or restaurant, I usually am enjoying quiet/alone time or enjoy chatting with my server/bartender.
I've noticed an increase of people thinking its ok to look at what you are doing on your smartphone and commenting. It's harmless, typical Nola interaction, but you might as well read my text messages and escort PM's. Seriously, at what point is it evasive? I've known people to out other people this way as well. I usually only check my hobby shit if I have my back in a corner, where no one can see. However, I do think guys are doing this more and more as a way to start a "conversation". I just think its simply rude!
