How do you feel about people together in public having conversations?

Honestly, I think facetime and talking on speaker phone is different. Voice on speaker phone do not sound the same as they do in person, they are more high pitched. People also tend to talk louder on speaker phone than in person.

It says "lack of social awareness"

Paywall. But I managed to see enough to know it’s another one of those “I grew up poor and you the rich don’t understand us” stories that are getting old.
Poor people are mostly very noisy and it’s bad form. Period.

really? that's the excuse?
In my day being poor, you didn't draw attention to yourselves, tried not to be a burden and dressed nicer than you needed to (as much as you could afford) so that you weren't looked down upon. Double all that if you were POC.

It’s annoying as F. Just like using the speaker instead of the handset. No one wants to hear your conversation.

Yes I do find it utterly rude as well as very distracting as well.

There is a time ➕ place for everything and FaceTiming should be done in the privacy of one’s home.

I see it the same as taking a phone call in public. There are ok places (park, parking lot, mall, hotel lobby) and less ok places (nice restaurants).

Totally normal as long as they are speaking in normal voices.

I hate it.

Very, very annoying and rude.

The sound of gentrification is silence.

Why do people do this? Do you find it rude? When my parent does it in public, I tell them to call back when in private. In the gym, a waiting room, a restaurant. It’s like all manners have gone away.
