(34m) live with my brother (35m). We have our own lives, just adulting and being part of society. But there’s an issue: my brother is constantly on his phone. Mind you, we’ve talked about this before.

He wakes up and stays on his phone either doom scrolling or placing bets. I get he’s a grown adult so I just learned it’s none of my business. But I get so annoyed when we’re watching a show/movie or playing a game together and he’s just attached to the phone.

It was the last straw yesterday. We watched WrestleMania last night and the man was on his phone literally 85% of the time. My cousin and I were watching while he was just on the phone. He says he loves wrestling so it’s not like he’s bored (maybe he is) but it’s like come onnnn. I had to say something at the main event, my cousin and I were all talking and he just ignored us. I was like “ok man I’m not hanging out with you anymore it’s so annoying that you’re on your phone again. We talked about this before and this isn’t what friends do” I was obviously annoyed, my cousin could tell, but I just don’t think friends who hang out do this type of thing. WE ARE HANGING OUT GET OFF THE PHONE.

AITA for calling him out and being annoyed?
