We can easily say that checking your phone is already an addiction at this point. According to this research, the average person checks their phone 110 times a day. But that’s ok because that’s the time we’re living in. However, it’s extremely impolite to check your phone during an important conversation. The same goes for checking your watch as well. It’s just a sign that you’re not interested in what the other person has to say, and that’s a bad first impression.
