Shhh: Society for Handheld Hushing
- wccrawford 15y agoAnd the same people that complain about cell-phone users have the same 'private' conversations with people who are actually there. People STILL have to listen to it! It doesn't make it any better that there are 2 voices talking about it. People who can't use their 'inside voice' are annoying, no matter the reason. It isn't cellphone specific.
- CrazedGeek 15y agoCell phones do make it worse though, because you often have no idea if the other person can properly hear you.
- wccrawford 15y agoThere's this clever thing people do when they can't hear me well: They tell me. There's no difference between them being there, and them being on the other end of a phone. The noise problem is the same. Wait, there IS one difference: The other person can turn their volume up.

- devonrt 15y agoAwesome and also illegal in most western countries.
- cbs 15y agoI used to just ask someone to keep it down, but now I can do it in a less effective, higher effort way that also makes me a gigantic passive aggressive douchebag too? I'm already printing!
- hapless 15y agoHanding out these cards is a ruder and more offensive practice than the behaviour that the card-carriers seek to control/prevent. It's not going to work on any large scale.
