I wouldn't consider this sanctimonious. To me, it's rude if you're trying to talk to someone and they don't even have the courtesy to look at you, just stand there messing on their phone. Like people who stand at the cash register and don't hang up their phone. Heck, I will pause in the middle of a sentence when MH leaves a room and I'm still talking.
Every single time MH & I go out with his parents, his mom spends the entire time on her phone and then bitches that "she hardly sees us/doesn't know what's new with us/never catch up anymore". It is irritating as shit. Like, get the hell off of your phone and pay attention to the dame conversation then.
Andplusalso, we had some friends show up at our place a few years ago, unannounced. Not only did they spend the entire time on their phones, they had the audacity to go to other friends and tell them how "rude" we were because we were playing video games the whole time.
My UO pertains to the fact that I see memes and posts on Facebook that completely vilify people using phones in the presence of other people, and I think it's blown out of proportion. I don't think someone answering a message at the dinner table is our society's downfall. So I don't want to put my phone in a basket. I don't glue myself to it the whole time, but if I did, those hosts can feel free to stop inviting me to parties.
People showing up unannounced period are awful tho no matter how you slice it. You were doing something already and didn't invite them, so they can take a seat.
