Sincerely,
The General Public@EdCates @Em0nM4stodon I was curious about the same thing, but then I realized that two people talking to each other in public make the same sound.

Sincerely,
The General Public@EdCates these are same people that put the bottom of their phone horizontal to their ear and talk (on speaker phone)
At what point did society collectively forget how to use a phone properly?
This is one of the things that really annoys me

@milesizdead @Em0nM4stodon If they're shouting at each other, maybe. People on speaker phones are always louder than they need to be.

@EdCates I actually love this but I’m very chismoso and will occasionally join their conversations if I need additional details
@ramiro
OMG I should start doing that. -

@EdCates @milesizdead What scares me the most if the person being on speakerphone not being aware that their conversation can be heard by everyone around. This has happened to me once, people put me on speakerphone without telling me about it first. I will never trust them again.

@EdCates @Em0nM4stodon I would argue the same applies to most people without the phones being involved
But then again I’m Finnish. -

Sincerely,
The General Public@EdCates I have hearing aids, which *almost* work like a bluetooth headset: I have to hold the phone within about half a meter of my mouth, but I can speak in a conversational tone, and nobody can hear the other end of the conversation, so in the supermarket it generally looks like I'm clutching a holy object to my chest and talking to Jesus about whether we need eggs.

@EdCates The new temporary man does that in our corner of the Coughatorium (large open-plan office).

Sincerely,
The General Public@EdCates I got the same question for people walking next to each other who don't whisper into each others' ears and instead just verbalize out loud for any busybody to get involved in.
Actually, I got better shit to worry about thankfully.

@Em0nM4stodon @EdCates @milesizdead extra fun on car speakers. "Don't worry, I stopped the car. We can talk"
There's a good spot for this right infront of my house. So many fascinating talks.
