Let’s discuss this action and where it lands on the trashy/annoying scale.

At work I go to get ice in the breakroom and there’s always at least one or two people in there talking on their phone just deep conversation. Not a quick chat I’m taking a long drawn out conversation.

Ive seen this same thing time and time again but in random stores or Walmart. The cleaning lady at work will be mopping or whatever and talking on the phone.

Is this trashy person activity?

Even worse when you walk in the work bathroom and someone is sitting on the can having a full on phone convo.

Well that goes without saying. If I could run an update on all phones that disabled the speaker phone function I would.

Worst I have dealt with, is a person checking us out at the grocery store. When she said our total, the person whom she was on the phone with commented on it. We had a conversation after that.

Yeah it's low rent. If you need to have a long conversation or discuss something private, find a quiet place.

Do not ever talk on speaker in public. ever.

It’s almost always the same type of demographic too.

I like to loudly ask dumb questions when laquisha is on the phone behind the register.

Some people just have zero self awareness or consideration for other people in their environment.

When denigrating the IQ of others, one should at least endeavor to construct a proper sentence.

Some people are so bored with themselves they have to drag somebody else into their boring life. I always feel sorry for the person on the other end.

Guess LSU has 40 yo frat boys. At colleges that don’t use crayons as writing implements, they’re normally 18-22.

Even worse is the moron that merges on the interstate and fights to get in front of you in the left lane only to slow down. When you finally pass them on the right they mindlessly have the phone up to their ear. Starting into space

Guess I should have said former frat boys. I thought it was like the Marines, once a frat boy always a frat boy. Are you no longer considered a Pike (or insert your favorite frat acronym) when you graduate from LSU?

I kind of thought simple reasoning would have made the meaning clear but I guess I was wrong.
