Fluff - When you are out and about where is your phone?

My phone is usually in the outside pocket of my purse. Makes it easy to take out if it buzzes, or if I need to use it to pay for something. If it is just my SO eating out, at a casual place, it is not unusual for us to both be on the phone while waiting for our food. But we put it away while eating, sometimes on the table. With friends, I always put my phone in my purse. I also like to take random photos of interesting things, so I keep my phone easily accessible.

it depends...am I actively doing something? be it eating, talking to someone, grocery shopping, looking at art? then it stays in my purse unless I need it to take a picture or check on something.

Am I just waiting in a queue or a waiting room or in the car waiting for someone? then I'm probably either reading on Libby or playing Pokemon on my phone

Am I out with DH and he's spinning Pokestops and catching Pokemon? Then I'll have my phone out also.

My phone is usually carried in my front pants pocket. I will take it out if I am waiting, like at the doctor’s office the other day, or if I need/want to answer a message or check something. At lunch yesterday with a bunch of retired coworkers it was on the table because I’d been asked about an app and I took it out to show the person asking how to do something. I also used it to film the hibachi chef, and the calendar app when we were setting the date and place for the next lunch.

I don’t always have to take it out, as I can glance at my watch to check an alert or a message quickly. But my phone is used for a lot of things, so it’s always handy.

My phone is usually in my purse. But I'll just tell you that I was in the farmers market a couple of months ago and an older lady said to me, you kids can't put your phone down to even shop! I turned it around and showed her my grocery list. That's what I was looking at.

Then yesterday I was sitting waiting for an appointment at my hand surgeon's office. I pulled out a book and as I waited I was reading. This is a totally typical behavior for me. When the medical assistant came to get me she said, I don't even know the last time I saw someone reading a book in the waiting room. She said she used to take one with her everywhere when she was a kid. What are you reading? I just winked at her and said, do I get bonus points because it's a library book too? We laughed super hard and I told her about the book I was reading.

And Jeremy and I will sometimes scroll our phones in public. It's not typical, but it happens. I know people are most likely judging us, but they don't know that he and I get like 60 hours a week of waking time to spend just the two of us. Our relationship is not in danger if we are waiting for food scrolling phones.

All this to say, you never really know what's going on with people. But I do have one friend that it bothers me how much she is on her phone when we are trying to spend time together. I know when I am being ignored. 😔

it is in my pocket and it is frequently out if I have to wait.. even at a dinner table. dh and I share stuff we see and discuss stuff.
I want to be ready if my sister calls me (she is disabled).

we use our phones for everything so not strange to me to have it out.

This is me. Typically, if I’m just out on a date with DH, my phone is in my purse. But if we are sightseeing and I was taking photos, it’s probably in my hand or on the table. Same if I’m shopping—my lists are on my phone. If we’re with family, I’ll put in the dates my parents are Up North, any doctor appointments, pull up an app someone is talking about, etc. We are also a family who discusses subjects with facts. So we will fact check each other, look up an article that we read, check stats, etc. 

Depends on what I'm doing..

classroom? pocket or table/desk- I use it for my bells since we don't have bells.
home? who the hell knows where it is. I put it down and don't get it unless I need to.
restaurant? face down on the table next to me because I don't like to sit down with it in my pocket and I don't carry a purse.

In my handbag.

In my purse.

Generally in my purse. I've never been one to put it on the table at a restaurant, just don't see the need to do that.

Inside pocket in my purse.

Just my personal opinion... I think it's rude and inconsiderate, to be eating (out or at home) and constantly be looking at your phone. 
I especially dislike when people are on their phone, during the entire meal.

I am not one, who needs to look at my phone constantly. 

I agree with all of this. You just never know. This is also why I have an Apple Watch. Compromised immune system former preemie son that has potential life threatening issues. I do however pretty much keep my phone in my purse at all times because I get the notifications on my watch.

I carry only cross-body purses so if I’m away from home it’s quite likely in my bag. It will be in a pocket however if I’m out walking or hiking.
