“Sorry, what were you saying again?”
It’s even worse when someone checks back into the “physical world” and introduces a NEW topic based on the virtual message they got and completely ditches what you were previously talking about.
Do you say “Hey that wasn’t what we were talking about!” or just go with the flow and completely forget about it?
I’m not hating on those who do this because I’ve done this countless of times myself. I’ve been both the “ignor-er” and the “ignor-ee.”
Either the person I’m talking to all of a sudden gets a text message or a tweet and I’m left talking to myself or I’m the one checking out of the conversation to do the same.
Is this the new normal now? Or do you still consider this type of behavior rude?
