    I love the dirtbags who hold their phone like a slice of pizza, then shout in the mic because the speakerphone is so loud it ducks the level all the time. It’s hard to use a phone worse if you tried.

    There’s no reality TV cameras, Phaleeshya. Use your phone like a phone.

        I honestly think this is because we gave up ergonomics in exchange for screen relestate. It’s not super comfortable to hold a smart phone to your ear and if you hold it wrong you can block the mics. Bit of a pain in the ass.

        I often hold my phone like that, but not talking in public. I think it’s an unconscious “this works best” thing we’ve figured out.
