If I’m having a conversation with someone and they start looking at their phone while I’m talking, I just stop talking and stare at them. More than a few times I’ve been told “keep going I’m listening” I don’t, I just let them finish and only start talking again when the set the phone down.
It’s very passive aggressive but it does make the other person feel a bit uncomfortable.
Yeah I often do the same thing. I also don’t start talking to anyone whose on their phone already. The way I see it is that a person staring at their phone could aswell be in a different room.

If you want to have a little fun, start speaking nonsense. Since they’re only half-listening, they deserve no more than your half-talking.
