I love the dirtbags who hold their phone like a slice of pizza, then shout in the mic because the speakerphone is so loud it ducks the level all the time. It's hard to use a phone worse if you tried.

There's no reality TV cameras, Phaleeshya. Use your phone like a phone.

When did that become a thing, and why?
One morning, nobody knew how to use a phone any longer. What happened?

I honestly think this is because we gave up ergonomics in exchange for screen relestate. It's not super comfortable to hold a smart phone to your ear and if you hold it wrong you can block the mics. Bit of a pain in the ass.
