I'm kind of glad this thread came up again.. my T's text sound goes off all the time. It doesn't bother me so much because it's part of life and I'm relatively patient but it does distract me from my train of thought so I do try to drop subtle hints instead of ignoring it. Like, "do you need to get that" or "is that me or you?"

Recently, I went back to my old state and had a visit with my old T at a coffee shop. It was very casual and she didn't turn off her phone and it rang half way through our chat and I told her she could answer if she needed to, so she looked at it and said, "definitely not answering that right now" - it made me feel special, but at the same time, I knew by her response that it was probably a client and it also made me kind of sad for the person on the other line. I know she cares for me deeply, but I just hope I never provoked that response in her when I was her client.
