Identify what your friend or partner is doing and let them know how it makes you feel. It is easy to feel snubbed if your companion checks their phone rather than engaging with you. That said, they may not even realize they are doing it. Give your companion an opportunity to realize their mistake. You could say, "I noticed you're scrolling through your phone. That makes me feel like you'd rather not be at lunch right now." Expressing concern can also be a subtle way to do this: "You've been looking at your email for a while. Is everything okay?" Shooting your companion a text message or giving them a phone call lets them know in a direct but funny way that you'd like their attention. It brings into sharp focus that the purpose of a phone is to contact people who are not present. With luck, you'll both laugh and your friend will put their phone away. Send a text message saying, "Hey, I'm right here!" or "Want to hang out?" with a winky emoji. Call them and say, "Oh, hi. Do you come here often?" People are usually more receptive to negative feedback if you deliver your complaint between two positive statements (a "complaint sandwich"). Start with a positive statement that will encourage your friend or partner to listen to you. Deliver your complaint in an earnest way. And then close with another positive or empathetic statement. To complain about your partner's usage you might say, "I really appreciate how hard you work at the hospital. Sometimes all the calls from your resident at night really interrupt our alone time together, though. I love you so much. Can we make a plan to meet your needs at work and mine at home?" To complain about your friend's usage you might say, "I know it's been a really difficult break up with John. But your checking his Facebook page while I'm trying to have lunch with you is making me feel ignored. Can we enjoy our sandwiches without our phones, and then talk through any difficult feelings you're having?"

Summary: Point out the issue you're seeing. Use humor to diffuse the situation. Use the complaint sandwich technique.

HTML code is made up of open and closed tags. Every well-written HTML page should start with <!DOCTYPE html>. This tells a web browser that the HTML file is an HTML file. This is the opening tag of your HTML code. This tells the browser your HTML code starts here. This is the opening tag for the Head of the HTML document. The head contains meta information that is not displayed in the web browser. This contains information such as the page title, it also contains the Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) which format the look of the HTML code. This is the HTML code that contains the page title of your web page. The "<title>" tag is the opening tag of the Page title HTML code. The "</title>" of tag is the closing tag. Replace the text "Page Title" with any title you want name your HTML page. This text will appear in the browser tab at the top of the web browser.

If you wish to include any other information or style sheets for your HTML document, be sure to write them after the "<head>" opening tag, and before the "</head>" closing tag. This is the opening tag for the body of your HTML document. The body is where all the visual elements of your web page go. This includes text, images, buttons, and other elements that are viewable on the web page. This is the HTML tag to add a background image to your web page. Replace "[image url]" with the actual url location of the image you want to add. This can be the location of an image that is uploaded to an online server, or the local location of an image on your computer. Alternatively, you can use CSS to set an background image. When you use a filename without a file path or URL (i.e, background-image: url("background.png");), the web browser will look in the web page folder for the named image. If the file is in another folder on your file system, you'll need to add the full path to that file. If you wish to include any other HTML elements on your web page, such as text, images, videos, links, buttons, etc, be sure to including them in the "Body" section of your HTML document. This is the tag that closes the body of your HTML document. When you are finished adding all HTML elements you want to include in your document, type this tag on the last line. This is the tag to close your entire HTML document. Type this tag on the last line. When you are finished with everything, click File and then Save to save your work.

Summary: Type <!DOCTYPE html> at the top of the HTML document. Write <html> in the next line. Type <head> in the next line. Type <title>Page Title</title>. Type </head> in the next line. Type <body> in the next line. Type <div style="background-image:url('[image url]');"> in the next line. Finish the rest of your HTML document. Type </body> in the last line.
