If you are in like a Drs. office and this person shows no regaurd for you because they are talking so loud. They are putting all their business out there for the world to hear them. I personally don't want to hear about their baby momma drama or who my baby daddy is ?..lol or who is dating who. Where is the discretion ?

Sometimes those calls can be very disturbing but other times they can be funny.
Right now the amount of people that I see with a cell has dropped down, there was a time where I will take a bus, and see two persons talking on their cells for their entire trip. Or more recently I would hear the beaps of people texting like crazy, it has slow down a lot.
I believe our discretion level has dropped a lot, there is very little people won't discuss on tv or in public anymore.
And that applies to the cell phone as well.

I was once next to this woman who not only talked of intimate things with the person next to her, but to the person on the phone and loud,
I did not cared much about the topic, tho I can't remember now what it was but to me it was rude to both her caller and the person next to her.
It was really bizarre!

I remember about a month ago a man was in the womans dept. talking really loud. I work on the sales floor, anyway.. he noticed we were starring at him after like 10 minutes so he moves along to the next dept. & just keeps on talking really loudly. Every customer that walked by him noticed him they just gave him a dirty look so he would move right along, but he never stopped talking he just would go somewhere else. People just really don't care if they are bothering you as long as they get what they want.

oh! it is too annoying to hear people talking loud on their phones at public places. Why should i listen to their conversation - whether they have a water problem or a husband-wife fight, or the tantrums their maid shows - phew!
It is always safer to speak soft and not really loud so that people don't interfere in your conversation. If i do find people taking at the top of their voices, i politely ask them to calm down and talk softly :)

I think it is really annoying to hear the conversations. For me personally I feel like if your out in public and need to speak with someone you always have the text option on your phone which you can use discretely. People now days are just disrespectful in general and they really don't care if you hear their conversations or not or even how loud they are being. It's all about them and no there is no discretion what so ever!!!!

I think that's what gets me the most is they have no clue & wouldn't care anyways that they are acting that way.
