So, here I shall answer these questions.
1. What are your thoughts on texting in social situations?
I find that texting in social situations is a bit rude. However, I understand if the text is necessary such as texting someone to get a ride home. But I do not like it when others are being held back because of someone texting. I believe that most of the time people are able to wait a while before texting, though.
2. Do you find it rude if you’re talking to somebody and they proceed to text
continuously on their cell phone?
I do find it rude if you're talking to somebody who proceeds to text. It makes me feel like the person does not care about listening to me. I get used to it however as I have many friends who have their phone in hand 24/7.
3. If you had to come up with a list of five etiquette rules for texting, what
would they be?
1. If you want to text, it would be best to do it in such a way that you do not disturb others such as not texting in line for pretty much anything.
2. Don't text when the person you are texting is nearby. That is completely unnecessary.
3. Don't text people who are in school. It may cause disruptions in class and the receiver may get in trouble.
4. Learn to leave your phone away from your hands. Your phone is not something you can't live without.
5. The above rules can be broken in emergencies. But in EMERGENCIES ONLY. I mean when it's like, "THIS PERSON'S HORRIBLY INJURED!" emergencies or when you need to save the world from an evil alien army.
