The act of hanging around the home telephone, not doing much more than waiting for a "call-back" as promissed by the recorded message you left; the computer generated "we will call you back with-in XX minutes; or even if you happen to get a "live person", who states "I'll get right back to you"! Hovering or remaining near the phone so as not to miss a call, which in most cases, NEVER HAPPENS! Usually from a GOVERNMENT AGENCY, but not limited to that. A cordless phone would be a "Hoverphone"

Get the Bike Phonemug. A person whose talking and/or texting on a cell phone makes them inconsiderate of the people around them, and careless in their daily routines. Sometimes to a level that endangers themselves and others.
He almost got him by a car by being a phone slave, not looking where he was going while texting in the street.
