It’s always a negative!

Do you just hate it when you’re walk’n along, minding your own business when you hear this muffled crackly noise coming someone standing/sitting over yonder talking on their phone. Although one could argue that their not really talking rather then just mumbling back and forth. I don’t see how they can even understand what the other person is saying. Yes they are talking on their cell phone and their phone has speaker phone. No one can go w/o trying to be cool and use your fun gadgets. I’m all for using fun gadgets, if they are used properly. Talking on a cell generally requires one to put the speaker to their ear and the mic near their mouth and talk. What aggravates me are these people turn on the speaker phone, yet talk on it like normal (almost). They hold the phone right up to their mouth and talk and generally have the speaker pointed away from them slightly. They almost get it right but fail miserably. What’s the point of using a speaker phone if your going to hold it up to your face? Turn off the speaker and use it normal, no one else wants to hear both sides of the conversation or the muffled crackle of what ever the other person is saying. Now I use my speaker phone from time to time as well, but I use it properly. I’m generally doing something with both of my hands, maybe reading or in some cases in a computer, and still need to talk to someone. So you put the phone down on the table turn it on and talk like normal. Its a speaker phone, you don’t have to yell at the phone or hold the mic in your mouth to get someone to hear you.

There should be tests for technology. If you fail you don’t get said technology.
