Phone stroker

An individual who is totally absorbed in using or playing with their touch screen phone or other device, typically in the middle of a crowded sidewalk, aisle, or in traffic, and completely oblivious to what's going on around them.

Q: Did you see that girl nearly get run over by that car?
A: Yeah. Another phone stroker nearly bites the dust.

Phone gap

The larger than normal space left between cars in traffic by drivers using their smart phones.

The line at the drive thru was wrapped around the building because of all the phone gaps.

Phone vulture

A person who spends the entire day waiting for a phone call, usually darting their eyes to the phone every few seconds to see if it would start magically ringing. Like a vulture, whenever someone else would like to make a phonecall or receive one, the phone-vulture screams at them to "keep the freaking lines open", and on most occasions rears up to attack.

For cellphone-users, people usually look at the screen every two minutes to see the time, and check their inbox for any unread text-messages.

Fred: Did you see how Jenny was waiting around the phone like that? My grandmother is calling today and she won't let me use it.

Carol: Oh, yeah. She had a one night stand with Tom and he's supposed to call her. Of course he never will, but you know how much of a phone vulture she can be.

phone-bot

The robotic voice that answers the phone and delivers a very obtuse voice menu in which none of the options deal with the problem you are calling in regards to.

Sally calls the big corporation bank to ask about an issue with her account and a mechanical voice {the phone-bot}answers the phone saying "please listen carefully as our menu options have changed"
