Pay Attention Peasants

I have Philosophy on Mondays and Wednesdays at 2 p.m. until 3:15 p.m.  No one pays attention, they're mostly on their laptops or phones.  I pay attention because I actually find philosophy interesting, but everyone around me is on their laptop and it's distracting because I'm a nosy person.  I usually don't care because it's their choice not to pay attention, but today I was fairly close to smacking this girl's phone out of her hand.

She had really long nails and every time she used her phone, whether it be for texting or whatever else, I would hear the tick-tack sound of her nails rapidly hitting her screen.  I thought I was going to have an aneurysm.

Another time, a girl next me to was just shopping online on the Forever 21 website AND she was talking about it with her friend that was sitting next to her.  They weren't being sneaky about it or even remotely quiet BECAUSE I COULD HEAR EVERY WORD.

I like the professor, he's very down to earth and has little rules, but I wish he had a no technology rule so that people actually paid attention to him.  It doesn't hinder my education, but it is goddamn annoying sometimes.

I would like to add that this happens every class...this is my life, it's not a difficult one, but it's annoying sometimes.
