Don‟t you hate it when someone snubs（冷落）you by looking at their phone instead of paying attention? The word “Phubbing”, which comes from “phone” and “snub”, describes such behavior . With popularization of smart phones, we see a new "Phubbing" group everywhere in public places: in subway, restaurants, elevators, roads, people are checking the mobile phone, ignoring the people around completely. What is worrying us is that not only young people, but also the elderly and kids are getting addicted（上瘾）to Phubbing.

On Dec 29, a 28-year-old woman—a mother of two in Wenzhou, drowned after she fell into a river while looking at her mobile phone. A Pakistani man was killed on Dec 15, 2015, after being hit by a fast moving train while trying to take a selfie (自拍)with it on the track. Last month, Justin, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed that. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.

Phone is the tool for communication, but now it distances people and makes them separated from each other. Therefore, s omeone jokes “the furthest distance in the worl d is not the distance between life and death, but that you don‟t know I stand in front of you while you focus on the mobile.”

Phubbing appears harmless; however, it does affect our life. 23-year-old Alex from Melbourne wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eatin g since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops a lot as a result."

Dear Anyone Having a Bad Week,

I'm sorry, I have no idea why your week is bad, or how bad it actually is. I don't know if

you've told anyone if it's made you rather unpleasant to be around. But I do know that I'm sorry that you're hurting, or stressed, or tired, or depressed, or lonely, or scared or lost.

I thought about writing this letter in a couple of different ways. I thought about writing it about the things you could do to feel better. Or I thought about focusing the letter on how the "bad weeks" can actually be pretty beautiful if you look at them the right way. I almost wrote those letters, but I ended up deciding that I wasn't writing to make anyone feel better -- I just want you to feel heard.
