Have you ever stand beside a person who just answered a call and he/she seems to be shouting? I was at the bus stop when the woman beside me answered a call and I was surprised that the volume of her voice was increasing until she was already shouting. She was not mad or anything like that, it was a normal conversation. I wonder if it was an isolated case or does that happen to a lot of people. I also wonder if I am like that when I answer a call. How about you?

I tend to do that when people on the other end tell me I can't hear you, tho I realized now I should hang up and try calling later when my bars are all there

live and learn I guess.

Some people just have a loud voice, I think. I have an officemate who's like that. When he's talking to his mother on the phone, everyone could hear what they are talking about. Not only does he have a loud voice but he has a habit of turning on the loudspeaker function of his cellphone, so it's not just his voice that we hear but his mother's as well.
