Really? That's weird. Did you ask them why they are roaring up, when they are on their phones anyway?
Not so long ago I was at a family gathering that happens every 2nd sunday.
And as with your story, some time later everybody was on their phones scrolling.
So i took my book out and startet reading.
When my sister and her friend saw that, they just put the phones away and sartet popping out some books themselves, which was funny, because they normally are always on their phones instagramming and tik tokering.
And all of a sudden we sat there and had some independant reading time. Which was kinda nice, i guess.
When people are talking to each other in a group I would understand their reaction, since it could be considered rude.
But when they start it, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to read your book.
