I don't think I've ever noticed if someone was texting or looking to see
if they got voicemail. Yelling into a cell phone is a different story.
For some reason, despite all the technological advances, people still
think they have to YELL into the phone.

Back in the day when mobile phones were a new thing (and huge!) maybe
people did have to speak up. But I always thought it was because they
were trying to seem important. Like, look at me! I'm such a big shot
they have to call me when I'm having lunch.

I don't care how someone holds their knife and fork nor do I pay
attention to it.
