My experince has been with BBM and not texting but mirrors what you said. This is the reason I wish RIM to die.

Nothing wrong with the cell phone, everyone there had one but managed to socialize with the people in front of them and have fun. The problem was with the person who refused to put it down to socialize. If she did start chatting with someone who was there and her phone beeped, she would pick it up and resume txting in the middle of a conversation, completely ignoring whoever was in the middle of a conversation with her.
