Yep, there are quite a few things that annoy me, but #1685 is an upgrade on #1364 which is loud people on mobile phones, there is nothing worse for an evesdropping person when you can only hear one side of a conversation.
It's people with mobile phones anywhere. People who maybe deaf, or more likely haven't found the volume button on their new phone. It's likely to be that one that has a big + and - on it, it may have the added Vol text over it. Yep, that one, you have you finger on it.... Anyway, it's those people who tend to have to yell down the phone in an over excitable way.
Your asking, so what's new for #1685 that #1364 doesn't have? It's when the user of the phone decides to use the 'activate loudspeaker' function, not only do you now have to put up with the loud and exiteble user, you now have to put up with the person at the other end...
Had to put up with this while I was in the supermarket queue this afternoon waiting for the cashier to speed up. The thing was, I would hear the whole conversation even above my MP3 player. Now I really feel sorry for all those who can hear correctly and will not be using an MP3 player to muffle the sound. It was awfull.
Some people should just not be allowed a mobile phone, if they do, then they should have to go through some mobilephone etiquette.
There that's my rant of the day over...
