re: People who talk on their cellphone on speaker in public

Racist thread

I hate seeing someone on the old over-the-ear Bluetooth speaker, it makes them look like they are talking to themselves in public ... and that makes me worry it is someone a little off mentally. Put the damn phone up by your ear so you don't look crazy!

I have noticed black people tend to hold their phone directly in front of their mouth when speaking like it is a walkie talkie or something. It seems that the majority do this too. What is up with that?

i love the ones who talk so loud you can hear them 100ft away. It's like they think they are communicating with tin cans and string.

I know a dude who holds his cell phone away from his mouth and yells into it. He will talk at a normal level.... phone rings, he picks up (on speaker) and all of a sudden he is like "HELLO! HEEEEY WHAT'S GOING ON" and when the other person goes to answer, he starts saying something else and then he is always like "WHAT? WHAT DID YOU SAY?" and then when the person starts to repeat what they say, it's like he doesn't hear them or something and he is like "HELLO?" and they say something like "I am hear" and he is lie "YEAH OKAY I CAN HEAR YOU"..

Every time he gets a call it goes almost exactly like this. It's like he yells so loud that when the other person goes to talk, he misses what they start saying or something... He is told on a regular basis that doesn't have to raise his voice to talk into his cell phone, but he says he doesn't even notice he does it.

Get your own life to concentrate on instead of listening in.

In other words, mind your own business.

Same with people who walk around with a phone in one hand and a speaker in the other while playing shitty music.

Damn.. I don't know if I ever seen anyone do that. You mean, like a bluetooth speaker instead of headphones?

When I was at LSU and would go study in the library.. This was before iphones, beats headphones, etc people would have their headphones in, turned up all the way and it sounded like they had a small speaker on the table. Then when people would ask them to lower it, they would look all mad like "it's my headphones I could put it as loud as I want".

the new thing i've noticed is the video-based communications

every time i go to Kroger i see some lower class tween on facetime talking loud as frick. why the frick is video necessary when you're at Krogers?
