I was out to dinner with a friend last night, as we sat down at the table in the restaurant I brought out my phone.
Her: You’re not going to do that checking-in thing are you?
Me (sheepishly): No, why?
Her: We were talking about this the other night and came up with three reasons people do it.
Me: OK
Her: One is that they think they are so important everyone should no where they are, two they think they are doing something or are somewhere so amazing they want to show off about it, or three they are letting someone they want to sleep with know where they can find them. None of them good things really.
Me (slightly more sheepishly): Well, I was just checking the time.
My phone stayed in my pocket for the rest of the night.
