Why do people have conversations on speaker phone in public?

Just yell "He's dead now. What do you want me to do with the body?"

Typically gets rid of that situation 😒

That is rude. No one else wants to hear that noise.

I'm to the point that I don't go out unless I have to, for the shortest periods possible so I minimize my dealing with humanoids and their selfishness and idiosyncrasies, unless it's to go fishing or something alone in the wilderness. Even that is not a total escape.

Just being rude and not caring.

Some people just think they're the main character and there's need to worry about bothering all us "extras"

😂. Worked with this older guy that did that all the time. I know way too much about that man

Inconsiderate and self absorbed. It’s a real epidemic.

I think they become so engrossed in their chattering that they do not realise everyone else can hear them - let alone care about annoying their captive audience.


Daftest I have seen and heard was not in a quiet place but on a platform in a very noisy railway-station.

This was a young woman sitting on a bench about ten yards from me, phone flat on her knees, she facing not it but staring across to a train standing about fifty yards away with its Diesel engines idling fast and very loudly.

She was gabbling away loudly and almost non-stop, I think in Italian or Spanish, and I could hear the woman to whom she was speaking was barely able to get a word in sideways.

I thought, "I hope she's not going to be on my train!"

Or when they're at work especially. Reminds me of this awkward moment I had at my workplace last year. 😂

Maybe they should put the speaker in the telephone. Then maybe it won't be so loud

I know. I have the same question. Been wondering the same. Geez.

Because they can. People do all kinds of weird stuff.

I think they feel the look important or something.

I blame The Apprentice

It's their world; we're just living in it.

You should join the conversation and see what happens !
Could be amusing

To let others know that they have a boyfriend

That’s so freaking rude. I don’t even like talking in public on my phone.
