🤬. STOP DOING THIS.

Bahaha Snuffleupagus! Accurate.

You shouldn't skip periods. If you skip too many... BAM! Babies.

Awful.

Good luck. There, their.

I hate anyone who does this. I don't care about your conversation. I don't want to hear it.

I feel like if someone is on a speakerphone call in public, you should be allowed to join in

I frequently have people call while they have me on speaker phone and it's nearly impossible to hear them because they seem to think it also makes them louder. They also have the audacity to get mad at me for doing my job (asking security questions) while they are out in public with speak phone on.

I had to sit next to a teen girl on the public bus tonight doing this. Based upon the conversation, she really wanted attention.

I depends on your situation. I do this because I am hard of hearing. But I'm retired and live out in the country in a rural area. I'm not much of a phone user. So when I am around other people, it is very unlikely that someone will call me. And I'm certainly not going to call someone.

This is also rude. The youth is supposedly so aware of other people's problem and of neurodiversity etc., and yet they are the ones who create the most noisy enviroment for neurodivergent people (like me) :(

Particularly in public places. So very annoying.

My mum (61) does this all the time!

I do this because I cant hear it otherwise, even if its next to my ear it isnt loud enough. Like if the speaker isnt on I literally cannot make out whats being said.

First off I hate cellphones but I do have one for safety reasons. I don't have a house phone because I don't need it with a cellphone so I save money. I have the cellphone with me on the road should I need to call for help. I treat it as a phone only. When I worked customer service in a call center I hated when customers used their speaker option. The further away one is from the phone the more they break up and you can't understand what they are saying. It's bad if they are too close to the speaker because then they are too loud and can be hard to understand as well.

I Think they are using Messenger or something instead of normal phonecalls. Like paranoia for someone listening which is like everyone is listening

The only time this is acceptable is when your in private, and you need to have your hands free for paperwork, or you need to find something on your phone

LOL My son and I just move closer and talk louder

Especially on public transport. Hate it. Then they usually say, "I'm 2 minutes away. See you soon" after 1/2 hour call..........

When patients come to our clinic, they have to sign an agreement to not use cell phones while in the waiting room. I've had to remind a few people, and they have to take it outside.

Do it around me an I will get involved in the conversation. I will answer everyone's question and follow you around.

When they do this, I put on Ministry's "Jesus Built My Hot Rod" or another equally loud song and blast it at next to their ear so they can't hear their call. [ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmenTtGe_6I ]

The younger people aren't so bad in this department. Middle aged people who feed it thru the bluetooth in their car & then crank it up full volume are the really bad ones.

I am 55 years old and there is no way in the world I would touch a nasty phone to my face. Anyone who wants to call me better just expect the whole world will know what we are discussing. Disgusting... gross... The very IDEA of touching someone else's phone without a Windex bath. Phones are filthy. And NO... I can't hear you either. Go on and hate. Now let's talk about not returning shopping carts... I'm just gonna shake shake shake shake...

I see this constantly on the street and will never understand it

OMG this drives me daft my mother does this and she is a boomer so its not just the younger ones!

One of my biggest pet peeves. Just encountered this in the gym the other day.

I'll say, if you absolutely have to do this, then have it be a very short conversation. Like seconds long. Please use the texting feature on your phone, unless it's some juicy gossip 👀

I have to do this with my phone, cuz the speaker you hold up to your ear is broken and you can't hear anything, so I can only take calls on speakerphone.. I try my hardest not to do it in public, but sometimes I have no choice..

I've seen many iPhone users do ot because the microphone breaks so easily, so speaker phone becomes necessary for phonecalls 😆😆 but that's what you get buying trash

Someone did this IN THE PUBLIC BATHROOM yesterday, and they were talking about other people that were in the bathroom. Wtf??

what "younger generation"? this is my parents

Similarly, facetiming everywhere. Walking through an airport with a video call to your mate who can barely hear you and vice versa. Why?

Set a new trend : invite yourself in the conversation

My mother in law does this dumb $hit. Every. Single. Call. All hours of the day and night. It's not even the volume of the phone that's the issue, it's that the phone is always 5 or 6 feet from her head, so she compensates by scream-talking. So obnoxious and narcissistic

This behavior is egregious.

It always looks like they want to bite in the phone......

I always do this but I never dare call in public in the first place

That's more of a "the f is wrong with you" smack alongside the head thing.

You're not wrong

What!? This is a thing?!

This makes me so mad

Gen x - AGREE! Why in the world would you purposely bring a child especially multiple children into a world where you know the kids are most likely going to grow up in poverty. 🤦‍♀️

Look at meeeeee!!!!!!!!!! (is that embarrasing enough?)

What boggles my mind is how they seem so proud of their ignorance!

I don't have a problem with cultural tattoos, but the other ones are just so dumb. There's no reason for words to be on your face.

Every generation has to have haircuts that will embarrass them when they reach 30.

Constantly watching short snippets of videos and Tik Tocs has caused an attention deficit. Why read when you can watch c**p all day?
