Do people still put their phones on the tables in pubs?

Butthurt non-iPhone users detected.

Iphone users seem to have an unreasonably high view of barriers to entry of iphone ownership. It's a phone, just one I don't want and judge others harshly and cruelly for owning

iPhone is not just a phone. It's a way of life.

If it was just a phone, it would be called Galaxy S3.

Phone on the table I've never had a problem with. The ultimate faux pas is the phone belt clip.

Nice friends.

Nono, my friends wouldn't do that! I meant when I am in a random pub, not my local. lol

We play the phones on the table game. When we get to the pub everyone puts their mobile into the middle of the table, and the first person to retrieve theirs has to buy everyone a drink.

No more sat in silence with everyone on Facebook. Wonderful.

We do a similar thing, but we all leave our phones in our jackets and the first person to look at it will have to buy a round. Unless of course it rings and it's someone important

What if it rings and it is not someone important? That just isn't fair, you might not even know until you answer it!

If it's not someone important we don't answer

a bit mean but oh well.

If mine rings whilst I'm in conversation I just get the butler to answer it and take a message.

Never put my phone on the table, less chance of it going missing or being knocked off/spilt on.

FutileBreadMachine · 17 Dec 2012 at 18:46

I don't put my Nexus 4 on random tables. It is...precious to me.

FARGO · 17 Dec 2012 at 18:47

It annoys people when others have their phone out at the pub? Pipe down. If your friends spend more time on Facebook than talking with you then perhaps you're boring company : p

i enjoy doing this to look cool and show off my shiny iphone.

NeoReloaded · 17 Dec 2012 at 19:46

Me too. I want every one to see my iPhone 5 and new pack of 20 L&B.

So you pay £12.50 for a packet of Pork Scratchings that only has 3 pieces in it and £30 for a pint that's only half full?

I do this mainly because my phone is huge and uncomfortable in my pocket when i sit down for long periods.

Definitely this. Although I'm starting to not do it as much in pubs these days.
