    Firstly, I hope you have a nice birthday!

    Secondly, I’m asking you as a 25 year old, rather than a birthday-haver, if that’s okay?

    • Do you ever hold your telephone in front of you, like a butler carrying a silver platter, and shout at it from a distance, then when it’s the other person’s turn to speak, move the phone and hold it sideways, so it sticks out horizontally from your ear?

    • If so, why?

    • Why don’t you just hold it like a telephone, where the microphone is near your mouth and the speaker is near your ear and speak at a normal volume?

    • If you don’t do this yourself, do you know other people who do, and why they do it?

    I have seen some older people do this too, but it seems quite heavily skewed towards younger people, and of that, particularly iPhone users.

      Sometimes I do yes

      I do it because speaker phone is more comfortable. When I hold it up to my ear for too long I start sweating and it’s sometimes too loud.

      Uhh I do that sometimes but only in short calls

      Also not an IPhone user.
