Today, I was getting ready to go out with my family. As I was putting my phone in my purse, my father told me I wouldn't need it because we were going to spend 'quality time' together. The entire time I was there, everyone was staring at their phone. I was the only one without one. FML

Should have had them put their phones on the middle of the table first one or touch their phone pays the bill.

In this day and age, you probably won't find anyone without a smart phone. You should have brought it in secret, but still, FYL.

Well you have fun trying to talk to people with their noises buried in a phone and your one word conversations, I'll be over here actually enjoying myself.

Yes, because one conversation on the internet will suddenly make me have no friends.

My family is like that. Any time I go visit my parents they pull out their phones or tablets and then when I get bored and pull mine out too, they complain I'm on my phone too much.

I know how you feel, as the youngest person in the family I was often the only one without an electronic, so when ever we did something or went on a road trip, all of my siblings would be on their devices, but in the long run it helped me as a person and with my social skills

Good idea on your dads part just the execution was terrible. You should've 'called' them out on using their phones.
