    America Ignorant, selfish pricks, stopped using headphones.

    Let’s be real. You have to be pretty self absorbed to not realize how ignorant it is to walk around playing your music out loud or having a conversation on speakerphone instead of putting the damn phone to your ear.

    And its not just flights. Its busses, restaurants, waiting rooms, forest trails.

      Oh there’s an easy solution. Talk loudly right next to someone carrying on a conversation out loud on the phone.

      My mother does the speakerphone thing but she’s also half deaf from a lifetime of loud blue collar work. It’s never as clear cut as you think

      I don’t think there’s a big difference between using the speakerphone than talking to someone next to you.

        People who habitually use speaker phones do not understand the concept of “inside voice” that everyone else learned in 1st grade.

        And those people should be sent to The Hell of Infinite Screaming Babies.
