There is this word that I found very interesting, I have heard it a few times on TV. We all know about it, although we had no idea there was a word for it. :)

Yes Reza! You are perfectly right! More and more people are phubbing, even lovers, and I often think that it is pathetic!
Interesting blend. I hadn’t heard of it.
Yes, a very interesting portmanteau word.
I plead guilty!
What am I missing?!
I think I got it. You phub too?
I try not to phub, but sometimes it is inevitable… ;-)
I’m not sure I understand what you mean…
Interesting word. But if the other person is phubbing you, is it allowed to check your phone as well?
Well, don’t forget that every time we throw a question like “What about the other person?” we are deflecting and diverting the conversation towards the other person, while it’s all about what we are doing in the first place :))
Thanks for the advice :)
I think it depends on how serious is someone in phubbing! I think most of us do mild phubbing which is just a bit annoying, but is inevitable since you may miss an important message. But serious phubbing is really awful.
Well, personally, if someone who is important enough for me phubs when they are with me AND it annoys me, I would politely tell them what they do bothers me.Then if I am as important to them, they would stop doing it, right? Or I should adjust my relationship. :)
However, if someone phubs when you are with them and it bothers you but you just put up with it, or you start phubbing too, then I don’t know what to say! :))
