You can't even go out for a beer with friends anymore with out these dumb phones getting in the way. I hate them.

Mr. ThreePeeEcks, I have to say that it sounds like your friends suffer from what we in the business call "Fear of Missing Out". Even though they are physically with you, the need to know what they might be missing overwhelms them so that they can't focus on where they are. These people can never truly be happy. "The grass is always greener" indeed!
