Every phone call you make with just the mic near your mouth and the speaker near your ear, you are whispering into the ear of the person you are calling.

If the person who answers with the mic near their mouth and the speaker near their ear is doing the same thing. It's like having a conversational 69 where both of you are placing your mouths next to each other's ears.

It sounds sexual and sensual if you are talking to someone you might be interested in ... but it gets a bit awkward if you imagine doing this with a random stranger you would never usually want to get close to.

A perfect example of a shower thought. Thanks for thinking it.

On a semi related note: what the hell is the deal with people that walk around in public on speaker phone, with the phone held 2 inches from their head? What's the point? I just saw someone doing it the other day and having a pretty awkward conversation that I would want other people to listen to.

Like they're eating a pizza or they're some reality TV episode?

It's because they're stupid. Just stupid.

Engineers and designers spend their days optimising the mic and speakers for people holding the phone LIKE A PHONE and these halfwits hold it like a slice of pizza, shouting over the loudspeaker that we all can hear but they can't because they're shouting.

Like an idiot.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
