Hands-free phone use in public is awkward as shit...

[Mister Obvious]

I literally had two dudes in the space of a minute walk by me in the mall saying hello...

And I look right at them and smile and realize they’re talking on the phone.

Or at least one of them was. The other one might have legit been saying hello to me.

I know , i hate that ... you feel like such a doofus , its like they really shouldn't be looking directly at a stranger as they yap to their buddy on the phone , i think its very inappropriate and lazy

And they DO look directly at you... LMFAO.

It’s like... if I was gonna use hands-free in public like that, I’d make sure I was staring way off in the distance smiling or something so people look at you and immediately assume you’re otherwise engaged.

There’s gotta be a finesse to it.
