The other day a dude was using his phone on speaker in the gym. Just sat there on the machine casually having a conversation on the phone and not doing a whole lot of working out.
I asked him if he could use the phone normally and made the “hand to face” gesture and he just mumbled a “yeah” and took it off speaker.
Now if he had considered my request outlandish, presumably there would have been a little friction in this exchange? But no…he knew exactly what he was doing, why it was annoying, and immediately how to remedy it.
Why the fuck are people using speakerphone instead of the God damn normal speaker to have their conversations? They know it’s annoying.

Because the shame part of their brain is not on. It must be triggered manually externally. In others it simply is missing all together.
