Oh everywhere. People yapping at full volume holding their phone as far away as possible while the replies are nothing but highly distorted buzzing high volume screeches. On public transit. I was wishing for the whole bus to sink in the ocean.
I picture the moron wouldn't even notice and continue yelling at the phone with bubbles going up.
I don’t care what kind of call it is, frankly. I don’t want to hear you talk in your phone, or hear your phone make any sound whatsoever. Sitting there watching videos with the speaker on, at a restaurant? Damn.
Once sat in a coffee shop and some professional therapist had a client meeting at the table next to me.
Full snot crying client. Really personal stuff.
I could understand if it was about agoraphobia or some sort of supported social interaction, but nope, it was a therapist who decided to use a public space as their office and inflict emotional distress on random people trying to drink a warm drink.
That one seems like a HIPAA violation.
Major. Also just plain abusive to the client.
I'm sorry :( I'm currently homeless, and thus my only access to WiFi is at public locations like coffee shops (and libraries, but my local library is well used and so quiet that I'd be even more of an asshole to do calls there).
Though I am admittedly part of the problem, I confess that this has, if anything, made me more judgemental of people who engage in calls like this in an assholeish manner. For instance, I try my best to be as discreet as possible, as well as choosing places that are busy enough that my voice is more likely to blend into the background noise (I'm fortunate that my headphones are quite good at picking up my voice).
then you're not the problem, you're aware, try to minimize etc
Assholes are everywhere but you aren't one of them, based on this.
Oh no, coffee just slipped... Oops
Ah, and also the politician who loudly discussed his strategy on the phone (tell them, but not them, etc.), so the whole train wagon could hear it. I guess some people just lack situational awareness sometimes. Or are so used to people listening to them.
Didn't Trump's lawyers discuss some extremely sensitive details about their response to the Mueller investigation's requests RIGHT NEXT TO A REPORTER FOR THE NYT. Like a table over.
its main character syndrome. aka developed narcissism.
Was in a Trader Joe's and this woman was practically shouting into her phone. Even worse, she had it on speaker and the woman on the other end was shouting back. Bad enough in the same isle, but then she walked up right next to me and they continued shouting into my ear. Well, if you're going to be that rude...
I looked at her and began hacking as loud as could which is really loud. When I paused the shouting resumed so I started hacking again. The look on her face when she shouted "ewwww!" and backed away was priceless.
Perhaps not one of my finest moments, but one I will always treasure anyway.
Hacking?
They chopped (hacked) her to death with an axe
they pulled out their cyberdeck (a commodore 64 with an armstrap and a small CRT display affixed) and started typing furiously
Crap, here I was thinking they used a Nintendo Powerglove and a Virtual Boy
It's soooo bad.
People who have full on conversations with Ai in public are insufferable.
Ive been seeing it a lot more often recently. The shit is on speaker, I can hear you talking to a clanker
Happy to say I’ve so far been spared from witnessing this. There’s an obvious shamelesness to doing anything on speaker in public, but this one would actually hurt
starbucks people, being pretentious writing a novel or doing something "important" on thier laptop. the worst ones are the ones talking out loud on thier phones about thier PERSONAL baggage, dont get upset if other people can hear your whining.
Okay, but back up there a second: People quietly writing stuff or doing work upsets you?
Zoom callers are the SECOND worst invasive species at the local coffee shop. Those annoying TikTok dance and sing while doing "normal" shit at ten X full volume? Those are the worst.
Did this once with a team meeting. There was a guy who showed up 3 minutes into my call and was playing the guitar. I muted myself but when they asked me a question I had to quickly unmute and answer, then mute. My coworker was like "where the fuck are you?"
Causality: he went and got his guitar put of the car because you were on a teams meeting in a public space intended for relaxation. He's just trying to help you relax.
my rule is if strangers can figure out your job title from your coffee shop call, you’re doing too much
Man, you're just an inconsiderate ass.
Crank up some fart sounds on your phone.
We were at a restaurant just tonight next to a table where a man had a FaceTime on speakerphone for like a half-hour.
Remember when that was impolite?
This can be related to any calls or even watching a YouTube video without a headphones.
Sorry, couple of times it's just been unavoidable. I do avoid it as much as possible, but I have a bus transfer that sometimes takes 45 minutes and there's a coffee shop. The last one my boss' boss wanted a sudden meeting, and well, it happened.
That's when you hold the phone to your face - like a phone - so you can talk at a normal volume and hear people really well.
phones were designed to be used, well, like phones. People holding them like a slice of pizza and shouting into them like some narcissist 'reality' TV contestant are carefully defeating all the optimisation and annoying everyone on the same city block as them.
Is that what op was talking about? No I use headphones.
