Loud People Cell Phone Call Re-enactment Video Shown on Funny or Die

Do You Know a Loud Cell Phone Talker?

June 20, 2009

Do you talk on your cell phone in public places? Do you also assume no one's listening? Well, watch out, because there's a group that's eavesdropping and then re-enacting particularly loud cell phone offenders to hilarious effect (check out the video below from Loud People).

This totally plays into my insecurity with gabbing on my phone in public. If I have to talk, I try to keep it down. I have plenty of buddies and family members, though, who seem to turn up their voice volume if they're talking on their cell phone. I guess it's a holdover from the days when cell phone reception was so crappy that you had to speak up, but come on, people — You've got enough bars in enough places now!

So tell me: Are you or someone you know a loud cell phone talker?

I try to text because I just know that I'm naturally a loud talker. However, I am a bit of an asshole when it comes down to getting bad customer service in a place. That's when I'll call up a friend and complain loudly about how crappy the service is, with intentions to be heard. (I know I'm terrible).

I don't really talk in public. I will step outside if I have to take the call and if ppl walk by I lower my voice. My dad is awful though. He isn't deaf but youd sure think it.

I prefer to text in public. My mom tends to scream, and my dad adopts a "manly" voice on the phone lol

I'm not a loud talker but I sometimes have to remind myself to go off away from other people so they don't have to listen to my private conversations.

My mother talks really loudly on the phone, as does one of her friends, and I can hear her (the friend) clearly when I'm sitting a few feet away from my mother. lol
