ok so you pick up a friend of yours to go to play basketball.

the ride to the court is about ~20 minutes with traffic.

friend spends 15 of said minutes on the phone having non-urgent conversation.

is this rude?

yeah it is

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us and as we let our own lights shine we unconsciously give other people permision to do the same

tell him to take the bus next time so he can spend more time on the phone

I think it depends. Was he on the phone prior to you picking him up? Or were you having a conversation and he just started talking on the phone?

Do you even know what DK stands for?

If it's the latter, then yeah it's pretty rude

take his phone and throw it out the window and tell him to SHUT THE FUCK UP also I guess it is


gawdawaful   Canada. Feb 18 2009 22:15. Posts 9012

guess it also depends on if he answered a call or called someone?

If he receives a call while in the car:
from a girl - 5 minutes
from a guy - 2 minutes

anything longer than that and it is just him not wanting to make any attempt to talk to you.

yeah and i think its way more rude if he called someone else

Meh, who cares. Are you a woman who desperately needs to verbalize every thought that comes to your mind? and vent out non-stop?

Maybe its a little rude, but who really cares. Your two guys, and friends, I'm sure you will get another chance to say what you wanted to say. No need to fill every moment with conversation anyways, I'm sure you end up putting music on half the time as well.

I think if you care about shit like this you're just acting like a bitch with pms.

No offense.

daemon, i agree with you that it's not a huge deal. i wasn't majorly bothered, in fact, i wasnt sure whether its even rude or not, thus the post.

and for the record, he received a call from a female, non-girlfriend.

Ok, well if he received a call I think its 100% ok. I mean whats he gonna do be like "oh, I'll let them give me a message, lets talk!". Lol, If that happened you may have to open the door and throw him out.

If he was making a bunch of calls, to talk to random people, about random shit. Instead of talking to you, then yes that's rude. But he would also be developing a vagina, maybe next time he will be text msging his friends for 15 minutes, rofl.


DaEm0niCuS   United States. Feb 18 2009 22:32. Posts 3292

It may or may not be rude. But I'd definitely agree that its annoying.

if it's his girlfriend, there's nothing you could do. but if it was anyone else, i'd he's being pretty immature/clueless/rude.

hell, i don't like talking to my girlfriend when i have company around but i can't tell her that. it's just the way it is i guess.


veryGUd   United States. Feb 18 2009 23:01. Posts 625

where in my post do you see me mentioning that I was talking about you?

Dude I wasn't implying that you were, hence the 'no offense'. I meant it in a general kind of way.

My apologies if that was unclear.

im sure there was a good reason w hy he was on the phone with the broad.

How you want it, bars or bullets? 

NeillyJQ   United States. Feb 18 2009 23:58. Posts 8947

depends on who hes on the phone with and why

for the most part it would annoy be but i don't think i would say anything, i mean, its a car ride with a guy, its not like its a huge deal

your just goin ballin anyways, something we all know your a star at, no reason to care

i wouldn't take it personally but yea it's rude. I wouldn't hang out with him again, he's obv no fun. One thing i would probably do bc i don't like being a servant or uneven exchanges would be that, when we got back in the car to drive home, I would call someone, shit, i might even put my phone on silent and talk for like 20 mins obv, not having started the engine. If he doesn't say shit, cool. If he bitches, tell him to get out of the car.

That way he is the judge of what is appropriate and not and he's judging his own actions basically. I used to have a gf always late for everything. I would go to meet her and wait 5 mins, if she wasn't there, i'd go shopping or whatever, when she calls and says "i'm here where are u" I would say, oh I waiting X minutes, i'm nearby just doing X, i'll be right over. and I made her wait X minutes. I even told her i was doing this. It didn't immediately correct her behavior but she did change idk if as a result of me.

i used to go to the gym everyday with my friend who is my current roomate. the ride was 10-15 minutes tops and there were a couple times where one of us had a phone call that took up most of the trip and I didnt really think much of it. if it was a one time thing like this is, I could see it being pretty inconsiderate.

Its time to stop thinking like a bitch and think smart like a poker player - ket

I don't see an issue with him talking on the phone.
Unless you had told him you wanted to talk about something urgent or he said he wanted to talk to you about something urgent.

I'd prefer it :3
- Just let me listen to my damn radio >_<
- And for fuck sakes he better not fucking turn it down for his phone call. If he wants to talk, he's gonna have to put up with loud music in the background.
-Aint never touch a white man's radio

That sort of thing always annoys me because then the driver has to just sit in silence listening to half a conversation while the passenger yaps away. Its something I consider rude and make an effort not to do.

just turn the music up after 2 min
