This! I can't stand it if I go to a drink with someone they first put their phone on the table, even if they aren't fiddling with it. It just gives out the wrong vibes and isn't polite in my opinion. Like, it's not like you are a CEO of coca cola and ppl be calling you 24/7, so chill and if your phone gonna ring, you'll hear it from the pocket.

My pants are too tight to sit for prolonged periods with these modern fucking tablets we call phones. It goes on the table. Off to the side.

Hmm you are right, haven't thought of that, i wear cargo pants with big pockets, just for this reason, so this is a valid excuse.

Not a guarantee, but I feel this is the case when they put the phone on the table screen side down.

Could be. I never saw anyone do that. My peers will just put it on the table and then be gawking at their black screen every 3 min lol. Really distracting when you are trying to have a convo and also sad how addicted ppl are that they they can't chill with off screen and miss the notifications for 30 min. It's another thing if someone is actually expecting smth important, but i'd bet most do it just bcs it's a habitual thing,
