[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is 100% normal in lots of places in the world and not considered rude in any way so it’s possible it’s a cross cultural issue at times[/quote]

It's also 100% unacceptable in a lot of places in the world. Not just the US.

I think it's common in places where there is a lot of overcrowding and poverty, because people are less likely to be able to access private spaces for these conversations. I have sympathy for someone who might live in group housing, have a job where they might not be allowed to use their phone, and commute to work on public transit, that this might be the only time they have to FaceTime their sister. But if that's not the case for you, and you could easily have conducted this FaceTime in your home or car or a private office, you are being a jerk. And I actually think that's true in like 99% of places. Imagine the person doing this is some rich white guy -- are you thinking "well that's just his culture, I should be tolerant" or are you thinking "wow, what an a$$hole"? Well that should actually apply to most people.[/quote]
