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 !

And whilst your finger reaches for the screen they say something that sounds ir might be important. Too late

Ha ha !!

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

    • So glad to give support in any small way. It happens more often than you think. I live near a footpath anf once came home from holiday to find that someone had poured paint through the bottom of the fence which had run all down through my soil and on to my plants. It was a job trying to dig out all the contaminated soil and to this day I still find bits of paint in the soil. No idea who it was or why they would do such a thing.
    • Glad this is back on, looking forward to seeing you all tonight
