Hogg Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 The people who have very loud work related phone calls on the train drive me to distraction - why do they have to shout - their work does not sound very interesting and I don't want to hear about it.

pattricia Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 The most interesting thing I ever heard someone shouting on their mobile was " I want you packed and out of the house before I get home !!!": Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horribleblob Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 I was washing my hands in the gents at Hillsborough Morrisons when a mobile rang in one of the cubicles, followed by the occupier replying quite loudly, "I'm on the toilet". It was a comical variation on the ubiquitous, "I'm on the train". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some folks think they need to shout on long distance calls LOL. My Mum did it all the time, long before mobile phones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cressida Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 As well as the shouting have you noticed the people who get on their mobiles and speak continually, and I wonder if the person they are talking to will ever get a word in - they must be the world's best listeners. A conversation is normally when a person says something and then stops to let the other person say something, not when one person goes ranting on non-stop!

TORONTONY Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 It is only a few years ago that anyone talking to themselves in the street was considered certifiable. It also makes you wonder, with all this jabbering on mobile phones, why there were no massive queues outside phone booths before mobiles were introduced. Is everybody more lonely these days?

Super Hans Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Let's be honest 90% of the time it's OAPs, their hearing is bad so they think they're talking quieter than they actually are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davyboy Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Then he replies even louder ". Did you say 4521 ? " You must have misheard Pattricia, that's my PIN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WasThatWise Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 I have found myself shouting when it was hard to hear the other person or there was a lot of noise around me neither of which makes sense unless the person at the other end has said they are having difficulty hearing me.

It is not so much bad hearing. Remember, if you are speaking to someone a long way away, you have to shout. It is only like a speaking tube you know.
