Annoying phonespeak

As well as annoying phonespeak, what compacts it is when people have their phone on loudspeaker and hold the phone just in front of their face so everyone can hear the ducking hold music or conversation.


It seems to be a habit inherited from shows like the apprentice where they do it so the cameras can hear both sides of the call. The average Joe walking down the street doesn't need to do it...

When Sky did it to me she kept popping back to see if I was OK - I felt she was worried for me.

People who, at the end of a call, rather than simply saying, 'Bye", then hanging up they

actually say, "bye, bye, bye..bye....bye.........bye.......bye....bye..bye..bye......bye..".


I find that nowadays, after the first couple of "Byes", I just hang-up because I'm not reciting 13x byes in reply for the sake of politeness. It's like Borat has got hold of their phone !

Do people really get URLs from messages or just google for them.

Possible, but unlikely, if relevant enough they can text.
