[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm still trying to figure out why people feel the need to have inane conversations on their cell phones in public at all, much less on a speakerphone where I am subjected to both ends of the stupid conversation.[/quote]

Talking on your phone in public is rude. At the gym, on the metro, at the grocery store, wherever. A quick "hi we're calling to confirm your appointment" is fine, but conversations? Not ok in public ever, even without speakerphone. Have your long conversations in private. [/quote]

umm...your weird. Nothing wrong with having a conversation.  Do you whisper to your friends when you're out in public together?  God forbid people hear your conversation then!  Oh wait, it's not over the phone so it's not rude in that case...riiight.   :roll: [/quote]

Not at all the same. Speakerphone is actually better than just hearing someone talk on the phone - one-way "conversations" are grating to listen to.

I don't think you understand. PP is saying speakerphone conversations are rude in public and should be done behind closed doors. That is silly, and no different than talking to someone in person. [/quote]
It is totally different. Unless you have a lot of conversations with imaginary friends, providing both voices.[/quote]

It's not different at all, unless your actually a part of the conversation. To an outsider listening in? It's the same exact shit, you are hearing 2 people talk. Whether you can see one's face doesn't change a thing. I don't know why you keep trying to spin it as something that needs to happen behind closed doors. Unless you whisper all your conversations in public it's the same exact thing. Do you think people want to hear your conversations more because the other person is physically present? yea ok...[/quote]

No, it's not the same thing at all. See above post. People talk louder when speaking to someone on a cell phone versus someone who is right next to them. It's just a fact. And a voice booming over a speaker phone definitely does not blend in with other background chatter in any way, shape, or form. Try to justify your habit all you want, but it is simply not the same as talking to someone who is with you.[/quote]
