David Clubb@richardnosworthy easier than lifting all the way up to your ear I guess. . . and probably a lot are video calls?
@davidoclubb ond dyw e ddim yn gwneud synnwyr i fi os dych chi ynghanol y dre. Rhaid bod hi'n anodd clywed. A pam gwastraffu data ar fideo?
AngharadHafod@richardnosworthy hot ear, mainly, I think. But also arm ache; there are more ways of holding a phone on speaker than there are holding it to your ear.
Personally I wouldn't do it in the street but I do use a speaker phone when in my garden and in the countryside. It's a lot easier.
Preferably though, I use headphones.

Ed Bridges@richardnosworthy I blame The Apprentice. Until then, I never saw the phenomenon, but clearly a generation of people were schooled into thinking that's how all 'phone calls have to be made.
Gavin@richardnosworthy These young wippersnappers missed the days when phones were tied to the wall. They never learned how to use a phone for speaking and now they put the microphone end up to their ear. 😉
Neil Moffatt@richardnosworthy And often people talk so loudly you can hear them 400 yards away.
A phone centric landscape just looks very ugly to me. Absent all the little social nods and smiles and hellos that help weld society together. And so very often as a pensioner I appear invisible to others who try to walk straight through me - even when looking ahead they do not register me.
