Do you ever call people out?

In the cinema this evening, three separate people went on their phones - one to check the IMDB (??), one to go on Snapchat and one to go on WhatsApp.

I asked the person closest to put their phone away and the look I got!! Pure ‘how dare you, I’ve done nothing wrong??’

I’ve done it once before and the person apologiesed after the film ended. The cinema is a good example of our post-Covid social etiquette going to the dogs. Another, a guy on the bus with his legs spread to Timbuktu, firmly told him to give back the space.

Do you ever ask people to put their phone away/ stop playing music on the bus etc etc etc. I think they need to be told a few times and called out on invading others space/ time/ money for experience and that they’re not in their own home but in public.
