Phone Etiquette
« on: April 27, 2026, 12:07:29 AM »
Something I've been noticing a lot of lately is a tendency for people to take ca call holding their phone horizontally in front of them on speaker so that the rest of us have the 'pleasure' of hearing whatever inane shite they are nattering about. . The worst one so far was on the way down to work the other evening where I had an earful of Waynetta talking to her friend about getting her results back from the STD clinic and testing positive for everything but common bloody sense.  Banghead

We don't need to hear this inane nauseating shite, if you have to make a call shove the speaker by your ear and hold the phone the way it's supposed to be. And if you have to talk about personal issues the DON'T DO THEM IN FECKIN' PUBLIC  cussing:
I do not have ducks. I do not have a row. I have squirrels and they are all at a rave.
