OT: Annoyances - mobile phones used on car speakers

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Annoyance number 472: people who use their mobile in their car while parked, with the window down, using a 4kW stereo to listen to the phone. Everyone can hear your private conversation!

99.999999% of private conversations are drivel, nonsense, twaddle, claptrap, balderdash, gibberish, rubbish, mumbo jumbo, garbage and more of the same.

Right and these twits want you to hear it. There are folks like me that tell people like that when they are annoying. Doctors waiting rooms have notices posted not to use cell phones and I've told people when they ignored them.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I think the best thing is to annoy them back, continue the conversation yourself as though they were talking to you.

What's even worse are those with bluetooth headsets that you can't see, so you actually think they ARE talking to you.

[Frank]

My problem is that sometimes telling people something that annoys you will connect you with a nut job and you don't know what might happen.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I find most nutters look like nutters so you know in advance.

[Frank]

I agree but some don't.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

I can't remember a single nutter who looked normal. It's easy, their faces look permanently angry.

[micky]

Go over and join in the conversation.

[Brian Gaff]

Yes dies seem somewhat counter intuitive. Also why do people park up, put the stereo up loud then attempt to hold a conversation with their wife or mate over the racket? Brian

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Maybe for the opposite effect, so nobody can overhear them speaking.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

It's usually of a similar quality to Eastenders (that's a trivial shit quality TV soap if you're reading this in the USA) so not possible to converse with unless I slice my IQ in half.

[Jimmy Wilkinson Knife]

Do you even know what "most" means?
