The speakerphone paradox

[u/NeighborhoodJust1197]

I was at the pool today when a woman started having a conversation on her phone using the speaker.

I politely asked her if she could not use the speaker and pointed to my headphones.
She said, “I don’t have headphones.”
So I said, “You can just hold the phone next to your ear.”

She looked at me with a completely blank expression and said, “I’m on speakerphone.”
I said, “Well… that’s the problem.”

Apparently, we had reached the limits of modern technology.

"WOULDN'T IT BE SOOOOOO ANNOYING IF PEOPLE DIDN'T RESPECT PUBLIC SPACES BY TALKING REALLY LOUDLY INTO THEIR SPEAKERPHONES", while pretending to hold my phone in front of me and standing next to them.

I live in a country where a guy put a bullet in an 18 year old girl's head over a road rage incident, so I'm good on that.
