Addicted much?

Problems only people who are completely addicted to their phones will understand

Addicted much?
Captured by : pg 2- DC_2

You can\'t go anywhere or do anything without your phone out where you can see it. Not the gym, not dinner, not a religious service. Your phone always has to be either in your pocket pressing up against you where you can feel it vibrate or face-up on the dinner table.
