Quick rant about mobile phones. Why do people talk louder into a mobile phone than they normally talk. In olden times if you wanted to talk to someone far away you had to shout at them, the phone means this isn't necessary. Nevertheless people seem to like to share their conversation with anyone within shouting distance. It especially bugs me when these people talk at a normal level when talking into a landline.
And while I'm on the subject of mobile phones, it occasionally happens that you get a bad connection, or one of the parties has bad reception or even is deaf. In these cases, how long is it polite to shout "HELLO. HELLO. HELLO?" into the phone? How often to you see these goons walking around shouting nothing but "HELLO" into the phone at increasing decibel levels for up to a minute.
Two hellos should be a limit. If you can't hear them at that stage hang the fuck up and try again later.
