      So every person I see talking like this seems to do it at twice the volume than if they put it to their ear, and then you get the added bonus of listening to the other idiot on the call as well, again, at twice the volume that it needs to be.

      It seems more like performative art than a phone call at that point.

      Usually because the other person is on speaker, and having a conversation on speakerphone while others are around that aren’t on said call with you is seen as being rude to a lot of folks

          Feeling personally attacked I see. Well since you are completely oblivious, it’s rude and annoying, no one wants to hear your conversation. Use the phone like a normal person.

            Uhhhh nope, you just made that up.

            Well since you are completely oblivious, it’s rude and annoying, no one wants to hear your conversation.

            Pretty sure the person on the phone with me wants to hear the conversation…

            If you’re referring to being in a crowd of people, I understand, but that’s not what’s happening in the photo.

              This entire post is about using speaker phone in public. You just want to argue about semantics to be a contrarian. So I’ll just stop responding to you now, thanks.

                There’s literally nothing about the OP to indicate anything about being in public.

          Nothing, as long as you’re not out in public while doing it. I don’t want to hear your conversation.
