How about someone at the gym on the elliptical or treadmill and they are having a loud conversation on their cell while using speakerphone.

Some? shite it’s like 50% and that’s being courteous.

We all know it when we see it. This isn’t a color thing either. Trash is trash.

My wife is a manager at a hospital so she's always taking calls. When we're in public she is so damn loud like she's screaming at the other person on the phone. I've told her many times how loud she is but it doesn't sink in the next time the phone rings. She kind of gets the hint when I start drifting away from her so she's not embarrassing me too

worse when someone is in the bathroom has it on speaker phone so you get to hear both sides of the conversation

But in a breakroom is seems like that is the best place to do it.


For long phone calls do they clock out before dialing and clock back when finished half an hour later?

The few things that piss me off with that are

1: some letting their kid watch videos on their phone loudly in a waiting area

2: talking on speaker phone or FaceTime loudly

3: any sort of customer service job while being on the phone with someone. Don’t check me out while on a phone call

Sometimes when I'm on the phone with customer service or insurance people for long periods of time I'll just randomly go flush a toilet just frick with them.

Absolutely do. Sorry if that doesn't fit your narrative. I will say that it is probably more an indication of the places I go rather than any demographic that does that. I'm a semi-hermit in my old age.

40ish white frat boys and Karens? That's the ones I see the most.


I think the air on your planet is getting a bit thin. You may want to check into your oxygen levels.

How many threads are we going to have on this? Once a month should be enough.

Women who talk on the phone in grocery stores are the worst, caught up in their conversation and won’t get the f outta the way so I can grab some steaks or ground. Move bitch!

They do it thinking it makes them look cool and popular

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


I guess something changed and Arkansas is now an academic powerhouse?

If you aren't making loud fake fart noises when you encounter this, you aren't living life to the fullest.

You guys are wrapped way too tight. Work on yourselves and stop worrying about how other people do their phone for Christ’s sake
