- lagniappe 7mo agoJoin the conversation, works every time.
- Hamuko 7mo agoI've thought about doing that several times, seeing as they're already including me. Just need to become a bit more brazen of a person.
- paradox460 7mo agoThey look at you like you're the rudest person in the world. It's quite the trip I had one person say >Excuse me, I was having a private conversation At which point you say "on speakerphone with everyone else able to hear it?"
- irishcoffee 7mo agoI don’t think United airlines has the authority to do that. That is to say, do you really want a federal law passed about this? I vote we go with social shaming. Worked for cigarettes.
- eudamoniac 7mo agoSome cultures don't really get phased by shaming in that way, unfortunately.
- SilverElfin 7mo agoShaming doesn’t always work. I’ve asked politely and been threatened in return by people that look dangerous. That made me want to avoid confrontation in the future.
- mikkupikku 7mo agoIt didn't really work well with cigs until govs started banning smoking in restaurants, bars, etc. That said, the shaming was important for setting the social stage for such legal bans.

- bigstrat2003 7mo agoI don't really want that. But I do sometimes fantasize about revoking some people's ability to use speakerphone or reply-all.
- balderdash 7mo agoOf course they do - they modified their contract of carriage - which you basically agree to why buy a flight (https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/contract-of-carriage.html https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/contract-of-carriage.html) it’s the same mechanism they use to deny you boarding if you are barefoot etc.
- irishcoffee 7mo agoSorry friend, I sarcastically was saying united cannot enforce their rules in cafes et. al.
- lokar 7mo agoYou should be able to report them to apple and google, lifetime smart phone ban.
