Unless it could be proved that the user had a condition like yours, I'd confiscate their bloody phones. I'd much rather just shove them up their arses. I think you can guess I have strong feelings about these now ubiquitous antisocial numpties.

I hare the inbuilt misogyny and ageism of the term 'Karen'
