When a person is idling on their phone, checking email every few minutes, or even seconds; scrolling aimlessly on social media; checking news websites but only because they are too
tired to do anything else - including removing their phone from their hand.
Being ‘on the intercrap’ is often something
people do to manage the in-between times - for example when on the
toilet, or between dinner and getting ready for
bed, waiting in a queue, or even walking down the street.
Being ‘on the intercrap’ can be a
way of decompressing from the day.
Being ‘on the intercrap’ can also be a way of looking, or hoping, for intimacy whilst in otherwise alienating surroundings.
