I’m pretty sure I’ll never actually go out and buy one, but I gotta admit, there is one situation when I really wish I had one. When parents keep their nose buried in the device and ignore their kids.
One time, I was waiting at a tire store, and this little girl kept trying to show her dad what she colored. He just ignored her, and could not keep his eyes and fingers off his phone the whole time we were both there. I could see the hurt in her eyes every time he blew her off “not now, not now”.
Or weekend dads. You see them at restaurants with their kids. The kid’s are sitting in silence looking at each other with a “So when will this be over?” look while dad is texting away, his streaming facebook more important than his flesh and blood. Can’t leave the phone in the car for a lousy hour?
These are the times I would just love to have a little pocket jammer.
