    What I can never understand is who is so important that they just have to be on the phone in a public place. If it was personal I would quickly say I’ll call you back. If it was business I would leave the public place and have the conversation somewhere private. I am always amazed going to a supermarket and observing people on their cell phone having a conversation from the time they come in till they exit.

      I can understand if you are trying to multitask and have the conversation while you are doing your shopping. But you should put the phone to your ear or wear headphones, not use speaker.

      And then there are people who just play their music on speaker, because obviously everyone wants to hear your music too.

      People talk with each other in person while shopping too though. There’s not really anything different from being on a phone in public and talking to someone next to you in public. If people are being super loud that’s annoying sure but that happens without a phone too
