It’s not the correct answer I’m after - it’s the conversation. If that were the goal, I could’ve just googled it myself. I’d much rather spend a few minutes speculating with you about what bird it might’ve been than have you immediately look up the right answer.
In most cases, when you feel tempted to take out your phone during a face-to-face interaction, you probably shouldn’t.
It depends. If it’s something debatable, let’s talk about it, of course. Most of my friends are women because, just like me, they enjoy yapping about feelings and what they have/could have done in past and future scenarios, the bread and butter of open ended conversations. But I’m not gonna waste my time arguing about when something happened or who said what, when I could just tap my finger a few times and get the answer.
