Streaming videos on my phone using speaker for audio while at the restaurant eating lunch. I figured for sure, everyone would want to get in on that awesome stand-up comedy action or zany talk show that I enjoy with my meal. It turns out that (gasp!) some people even think it's rude...LOL.

No, I hate that. Standup comedy is so overrated, what I want to hear is your phone call!

I really only want to hear 1/2 of a phone conversation

There's a segment on a podcast I listen to that is all about conversations without context, and half of phone conversations are a common feature.

The hosts will mention some they've encountered over the week since their last recording, and people will call in to share the ones they hear. Always a good chuckle.
