Only a long list of very particular choices would leave you in a situation where it’s “unavoidable.” I don’t accept this excuse. Get your shit together.

Sorry, couple of times it’s just been unavoidable. I do avoid it as much as possible, but I have a bus transfer that sometimes takes 45 minutes and there’s a coffee shop. The last one my boss’ boss wanted a sudden meeting, and well, it happened.

That’s when you hold the phone to your face - like a phone - so you can talk at a normal volume and hear people really well.
phones were designed to be used, well, like phones. People holding them like a slice of pizza and shouting into them like some narcissist ‘reality’ TV contestant are carefully defeating all the optimisation and annoying everyone on the same city block as them.

A video call with headphones isn’t any louder. But people can still hear one side
