Littleborat,

That’s not the normal way to talk when you are alone in the room?

Guess no one will find out because I am alone.

lorez,

Oh, but now we KNOW!

dynamo,

Yup. Not sticking around

Arfman,

I don’t get how they hear the other person, or are they on speaker mode?

Lifter,

Yes speaker. On the bus. On the subway. On the street. In a cafe.

fosforus,

Believe it or not, straight to jail.

Snoopey,

I’ve seen someone speak like this, then put the phone back against their ear to listen and pull it back down to talk again. Like wtf just leave it up there

Draedron,

Easier to be heard when speaking actually into the mic. I do this when the other person has issues hearing me and it helps

I’ll admit it: I do that.

… we are talking about walkie talkies, right? Over.

Amends1782,

Remember from a century ago when sprint had those PTT walkie cell phones lol?

greenmarty,

Once you survive couple of years in this world you find out this is just the beginning.

DNOS,

Yeah man I have seen stuff like flipping the phone upside down before putting it to the ear …

Smoogs,

nexussapphire,

I wanna know their witch doctor because that guy is easily three times older than he looks. Everyone I know above 60 does this. Give me that fountain of youth and I’ll keep your secret.

corsicanguppy,

I’ve never seen anyone over 30 do this. Having ridden the metro for years, though, maybe we see different people.

It all depends who watches those shit reality shows, because I’ll bet that’s where they learn it.

nexussapphire,

I kinda live in a small town so maybe different lifestyles. I find it funny when they still have it on speaker but hold it up to their ear like a regular call because they don’t want to bother everyone else. I try to let them know sometimes and they look confused for a brief second before continuing their conversation on the phone with the speaker on, I guess they’re really focused on the call.

They’re pretty comfortable with voice to text too, completely oblivious of their surroundings as they proofread and curse the phone out for miss understanding them. Or they type it out one letter at a time with their index finger heavily relying on the suggestions. My grandfather sat in the car replying ok to a text message and it took him like two minutes to navigate his phone.

kaffiene,

I’m pleased I don’t know anyone who’s this shallow

Professorozone,

Well, talking like this keeps the phone from radiating into the head from zero distance and angling it in this way puts your mouth closer to the microphone, so if it’s over, I say, "Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. "

Rediphile,

Neither of those things provide a measurable or meaningful improvement to anything. The phone is designed to be directly against one’s head within allowable safe levels of radiation. And the microphone/audio processing is designed to pickup sound from the standard phone position.

I’d say ‘you do you’…but actually, you shouldn’t.

Professorozone,

And it’s too bad that everything you just typed is wrong.

eskimofry,

Not sure if it convinces anyone but my reason is that I start becoming conscious of my ears being squished on the smartphone surface and it starts paining 2 mins later. Slightly lifting the phone up makes the audio worse. So I put it on speaker and do this if I can’t find a headphone or earphones.

I do this when I’m on the phone and alone. Or I set my phone on my tits. But only when I am isolated. I don’t want to bother people with my phone on speaker.

wafflez,

Is this picture from black mirror?

If it’s loud enough, I’ll put my phone on speaker and still hold it normally, because the regular speaker on my phone fucking sucks and I can never hear shit.

MashedTech,

Same on my note 9

If the love of your life sports a man bun you have way bigger issues than how they use their phone, dude.

ALostInquirer, (edited )

If they sport a woman bun, wouldn’t that be an even greater problem supposing a straight monogamoship? 😂

snek_boi,

Why do you say so?

flerp,

The way they put the string on top of their head means they’re a bad person because it’s different from how the commenter puts their head string, obviously.

@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar

To be fair, I’d be more concerned with the unkempt excuse for a beard being a sign of other, less visible issues. Sure, the bun is cringe AF, but adult-level hygiene is clutch for ranking as The One. 🤗

edit: ooh, touched a nerve with some? Go wash yourselves.

snek_boi,

What does the word hygiene mean?

Piecemakers3Dprints,
@Piecemakers3Dprints@lemmy.world avatar
snek_boi,

Interesting. Based on the definition “conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases”, I’m guessing that you’re implying a beard categorized as unkempt can lead to disease.

Just because I’m trying to understand, is the issue hair’s length? If so, shampoo and conditioner can be used in larger amounts. The shampoo would pick up the dead skin cells, remove excess grease, and pick up all kinds of germs. The conditioner would reapply grease so that the hair is healthy and strong.

Is the issue the fact that this hair is so close to the mouth that, when eating, it could have sauces or stuff like that falling onto it? If so, shampoo or regular soap can clean it all up for it to be hygienic again.

Am I missing something?

You are correct in these hypotheses, yes, and details to a person’s overall presentation are some of the first introductions one has to said stranger’s tendencies, interests, and even self-worth. Of course, conjecture is not fact, and an educated guess is only as good as the education behind it.

MTK,

Stop talking about me!

waz,

I call this “pizza phone” because it looks like they are eating their phone like a slice of pizza.

zovits,

I always thought it was more like toast.

Smorty,

To me, it looks like they’re about to bite into a kitkat
