Francine's Comments

Fascinating! As someone who suffers from a degenerative disease that's affecting the nerves in my feet and legs, walking becomes more difficult by the day. Many of my friends know my condition and yet someone invariably want to walk somewhere for lunch. I always have to bow out and invariably someone huffs, "But it's just down the street." Yes down the street several blocks for you is nothing. For me it's a marathon for which I'm not sure that, even if I made it there, how in the world I'd be able to make it back. It's THOSE friends I'd like to have to wear this for a day.

I have to agree with Alex. It is a matter of respect and common courtesy. I recently spent 6 months at one of our satellite offices and everyday 4 to 6 of us would go to lunch and as soon as our orders were placed everyone (but me) would pull out their phones and immediately begin texting. I often would just sit there staring at the top of all of my colleagues heads.

I really found it incredibly rude that no one talked to anyone else at the table. They just texted.
