Missing Peace The speakerphone paradox

Post image

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.

What’s the deal with what seems like everyone using their speakerphone these days?

The amount of people who just flick through TikTok with the volume up in public places is fucking mental, people just don’t give a fuck. They have zero respect for others, they value their own entertainment over everyone else’s piece and quiet

Pre COVID everyone used headphones.

Post COVID no one does, it is so bizarre.
