Girl Code: Phone Etiquette

Cell phones. We all have them. We all use them. About a decade ago, they were rare pieces of technology that maybe only your parents had. Now, we can't walk out the front door without them. But the thing is, there's rules that go along with phones. There's understood things that you can and cannot do with a girlfriend's phone.

1) Don't hack her Facebook and post anything that she may have the reaction of "Oh shit my mom/work/grandmother can't see this!" and tries to delete it. That's bad. Funny joke? Ok. Racy sext from her boyfriend? No.

2) Talking about racy sexts, don't snoop on a girlfriend's texts. She's texting for a reason. Leave her be. She may be sexting the new boy she's seeing or maybe it's just an innocent text to her mom. Or maybe she needs to tell another girlfriend something that she's not close enough to tell you. If you need to know, she'll tell you.

3) Only answer her phone if she asks you too. So you guys are all getting dressed for a night at the bars and one friend's phone goes off and she's in the bathroom. If she yells, "Who is it?" look at it and tell her. She'll probably say leave it or answer it.

4) If she shows you a picture and hands you her phone unlocked, only look at that photo. Again, do you want to see some racy photos from her long distance relationship? I didn't think so. Stay on that page and that page alone.

5) If your girlfriend's phone is unlocked and you're at a bar, don't take this chance to be stupid. Maybe tell her "Hey, you should put a password on that." Don't let a friend text drunk. Bad idea.
