Do any of you do this? Specifically, on my commute on the train in the morning a girl in a seat next to meet spent the entire ride on her cell phone while it was on speaker.

Is this a social faux pas or am I just cranky?

Next time, just get close to her and start going, "yeah, yeah, ooooohh, I know that's how you like it bitch".

I don't even use speaker phone when I'm by myself. No, you're not being cranky.

At that point, you should have joined the conversation.

Pussy.

Isn't it just like sitting right next to two people talking to each other? Or maybe it is just the sound of the voice on the speaker?

I think it's rude. But next time, join the conversation.

Except much louder and with an annoying "beep" every time someone stops speaking.

That's very rude. I've also noticed more and more using that BoostMobile walkie-talkie-type thing (the one that beeps). I suppose it is some kind of international service, as I've only ever heard people speaking Spanish on it---and it is annoying as hell also.

But yes, Manny, you are just plain cranky ;)

I think she was hispanic

Definitely not Jewish because it happened before 8:00 pm

Social faux pas. Definitely.

And I hate the cell phones that have the walkie talkie feature. Hate.

I hate those damn walkie talkie functions. You should have leaned in and yelled, "Over!", into the phone every time she finished a sentence.

I didn't hear any beeps just this girl conistently talking about face book and weekend plans at 6am. Spurm is right in that it is much louder than normal conversation, however. I usually wouldn't notice as I normally am listening to a podcast, lecture, or music via headphones but I left my ear buds at home this morning.

Oh my god. I hate the walkie talkies. People use them when they're shopping. Really? Stupid.

Now there is a shrieking child in the car. She's on the other side but she's not stopped screaming since we got on.

I learned my lesson. Never forget ear buds. EVER.

On the other hand the view beats the hell out of traffic on the freeway.

You wanna know how you spot a Mexican National...look for the pretentious shoes and the walkie talkie feature constantly used with their cell phones in public...

Jew = vampire? WTF? :lol

What I hate is people who take their cell conversation into the bathroom, and right into the stall, and proceed to drop their bombs right in the commode, complete with loud gas effects. People all around are pissing/crapping/flushing. Do they think their talk partner can't hear this shit because they aren't in the room?

Not only that, but how many women would have one in her purse, then complain about cancer later, with 1 watt continuous at close proximity?

What fucking woman is going to carry around a device that doesn't let them talk on their cell phone?
