I mean we never sit across the table from each other staring at our phones. But it's not like a RULE or anything. And a lot of times when we're chatting we want to look stuff up so then one of us will pull out our phones and look it up because it is relevant to what we're talking about. regberadaisy on "Do you put your phones away when you eat out with your SO?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-put-your-phones-away-when-you-eat-out-with-your-so#post-1458154 Fri, 28 Feb 2014 13:24:08 +0000 regberadaisy 1458154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ It comes out for a food snap but then it goes away!
