--- Quote ---One thing my wife and I have noticed is that parents who come to pick up their kids at our house don't come to the door.  They just text their child while they are waiting in the driveway.  Makes it hard to get to know the parents of your friends kids.  Or maybe they are trying to tell us something.

For real? Jeez, that's also incredibly rude. They drove all the way over to pick up the kids, but couldn't walk the 20ft to the door?

They must be far more important than thou art  ;)

RayB:
I've seen this too. Parents dropping their kid off for a sleep over and not bothering to even meet the people in who's care their kid will be in. Out of about 5 kids, I think only 1 parent ever came to the door.

@Shmokes: I don't find it offensive, I just think it looks incredibly stupid.

saint:
I don't mind a kid being dropped off that way when I have an established relationship with the parents. When the relationship is new or nonexistent I don't understand that at all. Damned skippy I want to meet the parents of the kid!

eds1275:
I work with people who do that. Drives me effing crazy. It's so rude to just stop a conversation because your phone rang or buzzed. It's even worse when they try to continue talking while texting.

(quick poll: How many of you wear them on the back of your head?  If you answered yes, how many of you do it because you saw some other guy do it and you think it's the "thing" to do now?  :D )

I hate that. If I have a shirt pocket, I put them in it. If not, I hang them from the front collar.
