I can't remember the last time I heard someone "yacking loudly" at their phone in line at the supermarket. The Candy Crush part is accurate, but not very different from reading magazines.

Not sure what was the point both you and OP were trying to make.

I can't go to the grocery or my second gym without people shouting into their phones or their bluetooth, or worse, sometimes having a conversation with the other person on speaker (for that matter we have a few people that do that here in my office in the break room).

Perhaps it is a midwest thing.
