Thank you for your story, people talking like that have to be careful, they look odd talking to themselves and so loud!!, and you are not the only one, include me in the list. LOL
I have stepped into a few conversations like this. The people talking, especially when you can't see the phone (hidden wires up their sleeve and ear peices etc.) look at you like you are from another planet, or just fell off the bus! Don't they know they are the ones that look STUPID! Talking to the air like that! Thanks for the story!
I think people who use their phones in restrooms and in store check outs are the most rude and ones that talk really loud, well, I'd like to smack them! I have actually seen a guy who moved the phone from his ear to practically yell into the mic then put it back to his ear to listen! He did it in a McDonalds and we thought he was nuts, it's not a "walkie talkie".
I hate those people talking so loud with their mobile. Did they only know deaf persons?
Reminds me of this story about Lionel Richie ( he always says that this is not true). He was in the elevator with a woman and said: "Lady lay down" The woman was very amazed and a little bit shoked. There were no other person in there. When the elevator stoped and he walks out she was aware of the dog and than she understand that it's name as LADY ;o)
Greetings, Bettina
Now that is one I haven't heard before - love it, got a good giggle :)
