    only when I am saying, "can you hear me now?, can you hear me now?"

  • No and I am not a person who has to be hooked in all the time. I try to stay in less public areas when I am talking as well. No one really needs to know that I want my husband to pick up milk.

    I am a little afraid of loud talkers as well. I think that they are crazy people until I see the handset or ,even worse, have to spot the headset.

    I like my little phone though and I just bought it the most cunning accessory . A sequined bag in my favorite colour, turquoise.

    So I may not be a loud talker but I have a very "loud" phone.

    You would think that with the huge amount of money I earn, that I would be able to get a decent mobile phone and service! I'm ALWAYS having to yell into the phone to order my morning White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino from the Starbucks "phone-ahead" service. And the darn commute traffic - I should just fly to work in my corporate helicopter, but they just put a new Starbucks on the ROOF of my building!

    Never louder than I normally speak, and pretty quiet about it when in a quiet place.

    I never quite got the "no cell phone" rule in CERTAIN places, like a waiting room, until I encountered my first loud talker. And the loud talker wasn't talking about ANYTHING. She was reading a tabloid magazine and relating the stories to the person on the other line. I finally had my fill when she said, to her other party, "I mean, I understand why they kilt that lady, but why dat baby? Dat baby didn't do nuffin!"

    Never by choice...I prefer not to talk on the cell phone. But, if it's extremely important, and I have no choice, then I will be as loud as I have to be in order to be heard.

    If I'm in a public place when the damn thing goes off, I will excuse myself and go somewhere where I don't disturb others (if at all possible).

    When I pull that evil thing out I get out of peoples way and or pull over if I can and try to get a little privacy. It iratates me no end when someone is talking on one behind me and I turn around thinking there adressing me. I was sort of hoping one time when this very pretty lady was apparently talking to her boyfriend.

    No, people are always asking me to speak up. I get those calls from people tho and you end up holding the phone away from your head and can still hear them. The people around you even make comments about things they say because they can here too. :)

    No! i try to whisper if I'm outside, I don't want the whole town knowing what I'm talking about,if I'm inside and in the middle of a row however,the volume usually goes up...alot!

  • 2 decades ago

    Im not...but I certainly know many who are.

    Especially when its a long distance call...

    like my grandma and even my pa-in-law...

    If they speak only slightly louder than that they would hardly require a phone for their voice to reach the intended listener.

    But its cute anyway.

    I don't even own a mobile phone. I'm not that important.
