I stopped my car, put it on parking lights, went out to his car and politely told him that I has been looking at him constantly using his phone while driving (illegal in Washington) and get too close to rear ending my car on at least a few occasions. I asked him to put his phone away. He did.
Ugh. The constant smartphone usage everywhere all the time is ridiculous. It's not just driving; I've seen people forget to get out of an elevator, walk into walls, abruptly stop in the middle of nowhere, etc. because they're doodling around on their phones.
