      If they were talking with somebody standing next to them, would you do the same? Ask them to please shut up? If not, why is this different?

      Asking out of real curiosity. I don’t mind if people talk close to me in a puplic place, as I don’t demand silence around me. Never cares for if it’s on the phone or in person.

        If the two people are being loud as fuck and obnoxious, then yeah I’ll probably take a dig at them and ask them to pipe down.

        But people on the phone take it to a whole nother level. Last year I was in a Starbucks and some douche on his phone was going into graphic detail about the girl he brought home. I asked him to take that conversation outside and when he told me to fuck off and mind my own business the barista straight up kicked his ass out.

        The difference is that when there are two people having a conversation they aren’t almost screaming, because they understand each other. Those using their phones like that however…

        And yes, I tell them their shit doesn’t interest anyone. It’s helping when you look like an bad angry bearded biker.
