LPT: If you are going to have a small conversation with someone on your phone, pretend to be on the phone, not texting.

It seems like there is a growing trend of people sitting in public areas having a short conversation with someone. And 90% of the time it appears that they are texting. <br><br>I propose that if you need to have a short conversation, that you pretend to be on a phone call. Hold your phone up, have a conversation, and then end the "call". This way you don't make it look like you are aggressively talking to someone on a small screen.<br><br>This has helped me so much when I am taking to my boyfriend about something and don't want to talk for longer than 10 minutes.
