 My buddy Deepti and I were talking and he started turning on his ThiinkPad while talking to me and I got a little offended. Is this odd?

No, OP. It's perfectly natural to be jealous of others who are interacting with computers at times when you - for reasons beyond your control - are forced to deal with people instead.



I recommend carrying around one of these Computer Man Stress Balls for these occasions, to help you calm down until you can get back to that nice, warm computer glow. I bought a 12-pack a few months back, and let me tell you - I don't regret it!

In His presence the mountains quake and the hills melt away; the earth trembles and its people are destroyed. Who can stand before His fierce anger?
like, if the other person is dying but turning on the computer will save them because you are working in a hospital then it's not rude; in fact it's unbelievably polite
