First of all I don't yell when I speak;some people do that when they are in conversation.What's the difference between speaking on a phone and listening to two loudmouths brag about whatever in the lounge;there are more of them than cell phone users
Secondly, I use the ear piece and the speaker close to my mouth near my top shirt button;so THAT I WILL NOT BOTHER OTHERS.
Thirdly, cell phones are part of our everyday lives and will become more and more so as the technology improves.
And yes I've heard the same loudmouths on the cell, but I've also heard them yell when they are on a pay phone that is near the couch I happen to be sitting at.When you are in a public area you can and should expect anything
Sorry Parnel, I should have added a "tongue-in-cheek" emoticon. Never having met you, I wouldn't want to imply that you were a "screamer".
I do absolutely resent those guys that yell into cellphones. Even those with the earphone and the mini-mike! I mean why bother with them at all??! It's pretty amazing that here in Japan virtually everyone has a cellphone and yet the only people you hear yelling into them are foreigners. The Japanese cover their mouths when they speak into them and there are lots of places that ask you to either switch them off or put them in "manner mode". I guess it's all a question of culture and etiquette...
