Transcript

my biggest pet peeve lately is the public Facetime epidemic. It's just gotten really badly lately is when people use Facetime in public and are on speakerphone in public, like in a cafe. I was at architecture, which is a really quiet cafe and bookstore a few weeks ago and this guy was fully on Facetime on like full volume talking to his friend. Guys, that's rude. I don't know if people realize that that's rude. When you're in a coffee shop, when you're in a public place, you don't talk on speakerphone.
