Maybe there's a different thread but I'll post it here. What is it about those people in airport lounges speaking so loudly when they're using Skype or their mobile phone. I do not mind short calls or people trying to have a quiet conversation. But do those loud people realize people cannot be bothered to hear their endless stupid conversations? Or even business secrets?

Of course I have my ear plugs handy at anytime during my trips... but those people are truly annoying - a bit more thoughtfulness would go a long way. I know they will never read this or even think about changing their behavior but hey, it's been my pet peeves lately. Off my soapbox!
