I always think it's funny seeing people driving holding their phone like a pop tart.

It's not hands free just because it's on speaker phone.

I'd be more concerned about the Rey Skywalker man-bun.

I do this a lot (not in public) because it’s way too easy to hang up with your ear and it fatigues my arm after like half an hour. It’s fine as long as you don’t shout into the phone.

Not sure if it convinces anyone but my reason is that I start becoming conscious of my ears being squished on the smartphone surface and it starts paining 2 mins later. Slightly lifting the phone up makes the audio worse. So I put it on speaker and do this if I can't find a headphone or earphones.

If the love of your life sports a man bun you have way bigger issues than how they use their phone, dude.

If they sport a woman bun, wouldn't that be an even greater problem supposing a straight monogamoship? 😂

To be fair, I'd be more concerned with the unkempt excuse for a beard being a sign of other, less visible issues. Sure, the bun is cringe AF, but adult-level hygiene is clutch for ranking as The One. 🤗

edit: ooh, touched a nerve with some? Go wash yourselves.

I talk like that when I'm alone on speakerphone. Especially if I need to look something up at the same time.
