What's an important text anyway? And how many of those can you get a day?

Yeah that's what I said, I don't care....
If I get a text at a table with my friends, I'll glance at it, and if I think I should respond to it I do. If I'm not really involved in any of the ongoing conversations I see no problem with responding to a text. Or if I am talking face to face with someone and get a message that I should respond to I'll kindly say "sorry I just need to quickly respond to this" and then proceed to spend 5 seconds sending a text. There's a difference between sending/receiving a few texts over the course of a few hours and sitting at the table staring at your crotch the whole time because you can't be without your phone. My friends are welcome to tell me if they think I'm being anti-social.
And an important text is something that is relative to me.
