I still don't get on my phone and text others or surf social media when I'm spending time with friends. My favorite times are times like this weekend when I'm not even going to look at my phone for almost three days straight while I compete at a trial with my dogs. I'll text people at the end of the day with competition results. And I'll check a couple of times for a text that I'm waiting for one client, but that won't be while I'm actually talking to other LIVE humans.

People know it's rude. They do it anyway.
Yep I agree, and the occasional checking for important messages and calls is okay. I do that, but I agree it's rude to be so involved in talking to someone else while with other people and there has been times where I just want to tell them to go hang out with the person they're texting if they just can't stop talking to them.
