My heartbeat just goes up. It just triggers me so fucking much.
Even talking does’t trigger me that much, it’s something about that phone speaker’s weak crackling sound, I despise that. It’s like the REVERSE of asmr.

From time to time I see people taking video calls on speaker in public (in enclosed spaces where everyone else can hear); in situations like this I’m always tempted to pop into the frame and say “HELLO!” since apparently the call is public, not private, and that maybe they’ll get a hint. I’ve never actually done it since I have the common decency, but others, sadly, just don’t seem to take social cues.
I love when they hold it like a slice of pizza like they’re some vapid famewhore on a reality TV show. It’s a well-designed sound device held exactly wrong, so the noise-canceling and gain control are going fucking nuts.
It’s like it’s bad for you, bad for the phone, bad for the person using the phone; who looks like a moron as a bonus. Good job, chucklenuts!
I’m not sure if the same (or any at all) noise reduction works when using speakerphone. I kind of understand the sentiment for using it - looking back at COVID times and the “don’t put the phone to your face, it’s dirty”, but even that was a bit exaggerated - and I still agree that there are still way too many people using speakerphone when they shouldn’t (voice-only calls and all).
