People talking on their phones like they're eating a pie, and then trying to slide the contents into their ear, I guess? The analogy broke down, but you get what I'm talking about!
I blame The Apprentice for making the young'uns think that it's the correct way to use a phone, but at least in the show they were doing it intentionally so that everyone could hear the call. Or perhaps they just think it's the cool way to use a phone?
Showing my age but it reminds me of the "side talking" meme from the Nokia N-Gage. It was stupid then and it's even more stupid now.
Hahaha, I was wondering where that came from! Nobody else seemed to notice or mention it, whereas I tend to burst out laughing when I see it.
What's actually the point in doing it? I have noticed it's mostly iPhones - do they have particularly bad or really breakable small speakers, and you have to put it on speakerphone or something?
