Don't let fear stop you.
definitelynotundead
I think you have issues.
CptRobotNinja
These people are invariably pricks. Never fails for them to be pricks.
Munchman347
And when two people have an in person, out loud conversation, does that drive you to a violent rage as well? Or is it just phones?...
HrdWodFlor
That's when you stand next to them with yodel music playing on your speakerphone.
ladysigyn
I do this occasionally because I've gone a bit deaf from working fast food services u_u
paulpounder
This should have been a "do you know what really grinds my gears" meme.
Th3Pr0fessional
Another post that should be a vent not confession.
Mayokopp
Depends. Middle of the forest? I don't give a shit. In a crowded bus/ train? COULD YOU FUCKING NOT
Sm9yCg
just say loud and clear "Honey, turn off the TV get off the phone and come back to bed!"
TheOncomingStorm529
I'm with you on this one
lordasshat
You can get wired headsets cheep gas stations and even the dollar store. I don't mean to offend but there are always options.
WatcherNotCreeper
I start having a conversation with them, replying to their comments and such
Justanotherrandomnameiguess
Haha awesome
AccountCreatedToUpdogVotes
If you want to be more legal and more passive-aggressive at the same time, you can follow them around with music playing on your speakers.
minabear
How is a conversation on speaker different than two people talking in person? Sometimes it's just convenient ...(or like me - broken phone)
btraqnasty
It's usually louder and sounds unpleasant because of phone speakers.
vanillabear2402
I actually wish I could upvote this infinity times
MegasaurusWrex
whats worse is when they are playing music out loud, but also have headphones visible, I see shit like that all the time on campus
mifdsam
Oh god, I had a coworker who would do that with his phone. He "asked" us if it was all right, one person said yes, the rest of us said no(1)
mifdsam
He took that one yes as "yes, you can do it", and started playing Let it Go, I wanted to strangle him. Thankfully, he got fired
imadethisjusttomakeyoulookstupid
what gets me is when its on speaker and they hold it up to their ear. I'm like, "dang how are you not deaf?" Then, "oh wait, maybe you are."
Therearetoomanyusernames
@OP if you don't want to put a title, just put brackets. It will come up blank. Like this [ ].
Justanotherrandomnameiguess
Didn't know that, thanks
Therearetoomanyusernames
You're welcome!
UghItssThatGuy
My ex girlfriends mom would use the "talk to text" feature with Siri... in the middle of shows and concerts, while the performance was on...
PyroAvok
I'm hard of hearing and sometimes I need to use the speaker. Touch my phone and I'll break your fingers.
sadquesadilla
As a worker in retail, I can't give enough upvotes
DanielHHH
It's a behaviour without any reason/purpose but to provoke. So I guess reactions like this are expected.
RullandePaltenUppeINorraSverige
Or when someone plays their shitty music on the bus using their speakers...
mercurymouth
this bothers me the most when I'm out hiking...I shouldn't be able to hear your music from the next hilltop
SunnyDbag
Well you didn't use unpopular opinion puffin so I won't downvote but weak confession bear...
Justanotherrandomnameiguess
Still trying to learn all these memes
SunnyDbag
Knowyourmeme.com might help young Padawan but imgur had its own needs and wants so you'll have to figure that out on your own.
D15801
I just walk next to them and say "pass the weed" loudly
craziicrazii
I recently smashed the front of my phone and the ear speaker doesn't work. Now I'm "That Fucking Guy". I'll get a new phone. One day.
cakeresurfacer
Or listen to music without headphones. Even if I like what you're playing it pisses me off.
tr3buchet
Troubadours annoy me for similar reasons. Usually even louder and are begging for moneys on top of it
BiteTheHandsThatThieve
Or even videos. I hate that shit.
bananastandcheddah
At the gym is the worst
IrvingZissman
thatshytidontlike
It's so fucking rude
PhoManCho
I see people do this in the airport all the time. Right up there with using portable games/tablets without headphones
LSDontknowwhatsgoingon
ON MY GOD! THE INHUMANITY OF IT ALL! ?!?!?!?!
LiterallyNothingAvailable
It's annoying. Spend $5 and get some headphones.
tantricpooper
You know, you used to be able to do whatever you want in public, no matter how shitty, and the offended had the choice to leave.
hstein3
Unless you get stuck on public transit with rude jerks. Then you're a captive audience.
tantricpooper
You still have a choice to take public transit.
mercurymouth
when was that?
tantricpooper
Wait. I think it's now.
minabear
Maybe they need a safe space from other people
tantricpooper
Exactly my point. Public is "our" space as a society. If they don't like it, they are free to stay in THEIR space.
Skookers
Does this mean OP gets mad when two people talk in public? What does he do then?
tantricpooper
He makes a post about how disrespectful people are.
distainv
some people don't have a choice... my buddy's phone only works on speaker now and he can't afford a new one.
CptRobotNinja
We hate your buddy and you too
SnartHelg
my dad is half-deaf and uses his in speakermode while holding it up to his ear. half the conversation is still "what? what was that?"
distainv
my dad does the same thing
SweatyEddie
How about headphones with a mic?
MyBadProfile
My old one did that. Now it's my sister's
urbestfox
As someone that works in the phone industry, there are several ways fixes for this
btraqnasty
In that case he shouldnt be making calls in public places
OldnSpicey
Half the time I can't hear what people are saying unless it is on speakerphone.
TheTwatWaffler
My husband's company phone got wet on the job and his boss won't replace it so he has no choice but to use speaker.
sadquesadilla
Is your friend flammenwearfer
Tfox6712
My fiancée had some hot wax drip on her ear speaker and it only works on speakerphone until we can get it fixed.
SweatyEddie
How about headphones with a mic?
pedrotothemax
Do tell...
Fweezerker
Indeed...
Tfox6712
I just realized how suggestive that sounded.
Tfox6712
Wax melter incident. One of those scentsy things.
squishybaker
use a headset, or text/email.
dannishadow
Headsets cost money and some things need to be discussed in a call and not a text.
jimmycrkkorn
If its important enough that it needs to be over the phone then its probably no ones business and can be done at home or in private.
SweatyEddie
Yeah, like $10. I'll buy him some and ship them.
DeathByUnicornsandCandycorn
Phones come with headsets though
Justanotherrandomnameiguess
My Xperia XZ didn't.
shitglitter
New ones do. They didn't all used to and didn't have microphones on the earbuds
DeathByUnicornsandCandycorn
Guess it also depends on the company. Some companies dont.
FoxMulderSpecialAgent
He can afford a $10 headset.
Forunth
Dude, you clearly don't understand how broke someone can be. If you don't have enough for food you're not gonna spend it on headset
youdontknowjac
thank you. i tried to tell my boss this when they wanted to pitch in for a keurig. $10 a person.
Pullout69
Yes and your buddy is the exception not the rule. Most people do this because they're video chatting. I work retail and people do it in my >
Pullout69
Shop all the time.
boomxster
But what's wrong with that? I use it to face time my s/o whenever she sends me to the store and I'm unsure what to get.
Pullout69
It all depends on context and behavior. Like taking on the phone in public isn't necessarily rude, it is if you're being unecessarily loud.>
doggofarts
The conversations are usually of a sensitive nature. Like calling child protective services on your neighbour (I've heard this one a bunch)
Pullout69
Or how listening to music on your phone with headphones is fine, but blasting it in a crowded space is rude. If you're face timing in ->
Pullout69
A store you should use headphones if you're planning on a conversation longer than 10 seconds.
doggofarts
AGREEEEEEED. I had someone today using a Bluetooth speaker. In the store. While I was trying to serve them.
