Do you think about the people who call using the loudspeaker in a public place?

Hi. dayangsumbi2010. I think that it is rude if it is a quiet area. If they are just passing by using their loud speaker, then this is alright I guess. About two weeks ago, I was using my cell phone and I had my loudspeaker on. I was walking by females on the sidewalk of a shopping plaza. And I was listening to a bank's prompt from my cell phone. I did not think that I was disturbing anyone at all. The girls passed me and went to the store that they were going to. I think that if a person just standing while using their cell phone, then that is rude because someone can now hear them more better and louder then. If it is too loud for me, I will ignore it or just move away from this person while they have their loudspeaker on.

I hate phones to begin with. I don't like talking on them any more than I have to, and I certainly do NOT want to have to listen to the conversations of other people around me. I couldn't care less what you and your friends are talking about, so people need to do us all a favor and turn the damn speaker-phones off and keep as much of your conversation to yourself as you can. Better yet, do us all a favor and wait until you are alone in your car to make a call, so we don't have to hear ANY of your conversation...

According to me received a phone call with the loudspeaker in public places is not polite. Because not everyone wants to hear the speech of others. I do not need to be reprimanded, but I would stay away from that person. I never use the loudspeaker when a call or receive calls. Because I do not want other people, listening to my conversation.

All people do feel disturbed, because their comfort disturbed. How to confront with the greeting, saying "sorry, can you call not in louudspeeker, because we feel disturbed, thank you." Because in addition to our discussion at the hearing person, other than that we are also interfere with the comfort of people around us.

I personally think irreverent and impressed what he heard other people talking bs. Maybe I was not reprimanded because impressed too sensitive. I never use the loudspeaker to talk on the phone because sometimes use hands-free voice alone is very clear.

First of all cell phones are banned in public places, in spite of that still people use cell phones in public places without bothering other people around them, upon that if they use loud speakers, they must be deaf, or they must have some hearing problems. I never mind telling that person to reduce the volume if it is really disturbs me. I try not to use cell phones in public places, if it is emergency call then I will converse with whispering words.

I think that it all depends on the place that I am in. In the mall or on the bus I would not be as disturbed as if I were out to a nice dinner. I would simply as the person to please keep it down. I myself do not do this as it can disturb some people. I do not do it anywhere, as a matter of fact if anyone should call me during a dinner and I have to take it I will take it outside, if it is not important I will not answer it as I see this as being rude to my dinner partners. And my phone is on vibrate during dinner.

I think it's impolite. It can be distracting to other people. I myself would get bothered if someone was using the loudspeaker function of his phone when I'm talking with a friend. But I wouldn't admonish the person. Actually, I have really no right to do so. It's a public place and there's nothing illegal about using the loudspeaker function of a phone. The person's just inconsiderate.

I find it disrespectful for people who answer their phones via loud speakers. Why would a person do that actually? Isn't a conversation suppose to be private?

Yes, disturbed. It was very-very-not-rude in my opinion. Because we get to hear his talk, even to hear him laugh. Uhh .... how it feels ... so. When reprimanded, honest, can not. I do not have the heart, because I was afraid to even make him ashamed, let alone in front of crowds. Except that my friend ... Call by speaker phone in a public place? No. It's one of the few things which I never do in public.

I don't use loudspeaker of my cellphone when i am in a public place. I want my conversations to be private. I only have it in loudspeaker mode whenever we call our daughter who is in a far away city studying , on her cellphone, at night in our bedroom. That way, both me and my husband can hear her speak to us. Have a nice day!

Well I have not seen yet anyone using loud speaker while talking on the phone in public place.But,of course it will feel disturbed when someone is talking loudly no matter s\he is using loud speaker or not.But talking loudly is also not good in public place and it makes people feel disturbed as well.

Using loudspeaker in public places seems inappropriate. It would be rude to use loudspeakers and, worst of all, speak loudly as everyone else surrounding would be bothered by his conversation. Maybe there is no better way to talk to a rude person than to be polite and say,"excuse me sir, but can you please keep it down a bit? Thank you." those people are just so irritating, especially in public transportation, that I can't even sleep in the bus while waiting for an hour to get to school. grr....
