ITT a bunch of fucking losers claiming to have hearing problems and would rather be a dick in public than invest in proper headphones.
Note on the claim part, I don't believe a fraction of the assholes here, just trying to justify their assholery. People with legitimate hearing issues tend to accept the support technology that's readily available these days. I spend quite a bit of time around folks who are actually hard of hearing.

Imagine giving up on someone because of a simple mannerism.
- Imagine being too stupid to properly hold your phone.
- Nah, it demonstrates stupidity.

but this is correct, that's where the mic is, it's more comfortable than holding it to my ear [especially the modern smartphone shape], and i like knowing i'm talking straight into the mic
- Plus, I really hate the idea of my cheeks touching the screen… because then after the call I end up having to clean the screen off. Damned OCD.
  Edit: Jfc lol was downvoted for sharing my phobia, stay classy Lemmy
  
  I am very confused, why is your cheek touching the phone? Are you mashing your phone against your face?

Pizza eaters are rude as hell, too. I'd guarantee that there's significant overlap with the people who play music in public from their shitty phone speaker.
- Wdym, just anyone who eats pizza? Pizza is good tho :(
