Last week at the AUS Continental Presidents Club I encountered the ultimate case of "cell yell." This guy was so loud that, with the exception of the men's room, there was not a single place in the entire club you could not hear his conversation clearly. I was trying to get some work done before a flight and finally had to go over and politely ask him to please tone down the volume because it was distracting. Not only did he just blow me off, he actually got louder on the phone as I walked away. There were five of us in the business center at different cubicles trying to work, and all were making faces and commenting about how rude this guy outside in the main part of the club was. Finally one of the club employees said something to him and he cut the volume down a couple of decibels, but he was still loud. I just don't get this phenomenon. The phone is right next to your face. You can whisper and it will pick up what you say!
