Seeing an awful lot of this around town and it makes me irrationally angry in the way that people used to wear their masks over their chin during the pandemic.
Does anyone know the reasoning why this is any way more convenient than the way humans have talked into phones for the last century?

Sending voice notes
Perfectly overlaps with people who drink Island’s Edge
We yearn for tradition. Telephone design peaked in the roaring 20s
They’re idiots. I’ve seen them talking into the phone this way then moving the bottom of the phone to their ear to hear the other person properly.
I can only presume it’s cos they’ve seen people on reality programmes speaking on loudspeaker this way so the cameras can hear the other side and think that’s how phones work.
I’m also waiting for the answer here.
It’s annoying as fuck. 80% of the time I’ve seen it, the person is by themselves, but has the phone on speaker as well.
If they’re on a call its cause of pig ignorance
There was an old myth that holding a mobile phone to your ear for extended periods of time lead to an increase in brain tumours. It was debunked eventually but the idea has stuck for some people.
Because they are arseholes. That’s the reason.
Drives me scatty. What is the point of this nonsense?
It let’s you check your phone if you get any notifications while on the call.
If it’s an actual conversation, they need their head checked.
If people are leaving voice messages on WhatsApp, that why the do that.
It’s because people like that have absolutely no interest in what others have to say, so they only need to microphone to yell into.
cuz they are brain dead
Because they wear so much foundation and bronzer and it melts all over the phone and leaves them with one pale side on their face.
It’s bugging me every time I see it. Also listening to music from the phone’s crappy stereo out loud. They have money for a new iPone yet can’t afford a decent BT headphone for 30-50.
I find it’s mostly a certain type that I see doing this. And by fuckin god are they loud. So fuckin loud they don’t need a phone for the other person to hear them.
elevated brain cancer risk
Another symptom of the woke mind virus
Jeez ye’ve little to be worried about if how another person makes phone calls is all that’s bothering ye. 🙄
It’s a way insecure yung un’s can say to the world ‘behold people want to talk to me!’
Ignorant vanity
They’re likely sending voice notes
Voice notes. You don’t need to talk live and you need to see the screen to send etc.
They’re melts who’ve seen Americans do it in Tik Toks so of course they have to copy them.
Add in a dash of arrogance that they think their lives are so interesting everyone has to hear about it and/or complete lack of respect for others and you get this shite.
Who cares, doesn’t inconvenience anyone apart from themselves.
Because they don’t want brain cancer
I work for phone technical support lines and the top speaker on phones is a common issue that breaks on devices , a lot of people don’t have the time / money to fix it so instead use speaker mode and hold it up to there ears ect .
Ah lads its not 1980 anymore we don’t have to hold one part at our ear and one at the mouth and keep it there to make phone calls. This is a much more comfortable alternative to a hot sweaty smartphone stuck to your head for 30 minutes. You can actually put the phone down and carry on talking.
Welcome to the future…??
Why do old people have a problem with everything the new generation does🤣
We had a post about this 2 weeks ago, they’re not on phone calls they’re sending and receiving voice notes.
You do that through the speakers and mic at the *bottom* of the phone, it isn’t a phone call.
These posts on the sub make the poster and aggrieved commenters look out of touch with technology, not the other way around.
Most likely they are sending voice notes and not actually on a call!
