What does your completely anecdotal experience add to the conversation? Especially seeing that 35% of EU cell phone users own iPhones?
It means about as much as the old Slashdot meme “I haven’t watched TV in a decade. Do people still watch TV?”
Could it possibly be that your experience is not representative of the broader EU?

My original comment was answering an existing comment that literally started with "I saw a humorous exchange at a social event" and described literally an anecdote.
I'm hoping you'll see why it's obvious that my comment was very much fit to the existing conversation that was already happening.
This is obviously an informal conversation and I've clearly stated in my comment that "I've seen" a different situation "in many social contexts". Which I, again, informally generalize into a phenomenon I consider common enough to be mentioned.
I do not intend to provide you with statistical backing for what amounts to, again, clearly obviously anecdotal evidence.
In short: Jesus, if you disagree or have a different experience, it's OK, let me know, no need to go straight into a formal semantics discussion.
