Phone chasy perpetuates phone chasy. In the days before mobiles, no-one did it. It was only about 6 or so years ago that the mad craze for phones took off as well. Anyone remember the days of, "You gonna be in the [insert generic pub name] tonight? Yeah? Well, I'll see you down there if you're about". And if they weren't about, you struck up a conversation with someone in there, or wandered round to their house (if you were close enough). These days [shut up, I am an old man] you can't go to the bar without someone ringing you to say, "Packet of cheese and onion as well".
I've spent some time hanging around with non-laid back people. It only stresses me out. "When did you leave on Saturday?" "Oh, I bumped into Rambo and went to a dirty rave." "Well, you should've said something..."
Bothered. That's the phrase I'm searching for.
