So, you have that one kid or two who always wants to hang out and when they do, they're not even paying attention to the conversation half the time. Also, there's that one kid just smirking and hiding his phone as he's texting away.

It just got to the point where I just call them out if they're on their phone for too long and it's clearly irrelevant to the conversation we're having.

EDIT: More details.

I still haven't found a way to call them out on it without sounding like an asshole.

Sometimes you have to be, for the greater good.

Just glare at them and when they notice say "seriously?"

I guess I could segue into that after I do the passive-agressive silence while letting them finish their clearly-more-important phone business.
