Then the two of them have a conversation and that leaves me outta the picture.
I think the problem with the text-edemic is that is implies to the rest of the room that you'd rather be somewhere else. That whatever keeps grabbing your attention is more important. And, after a certain point, you just can't help but ask, "Who the hell is it??!" ... And that's just nosy.
