How is that different than two people talking in person? Do you interrupt them as well?

[itishappy]

Yup. Online too! I have no qualms about adding my two cents to any loud public conversations.

Do you think having your conversation on speakerphone in public is the same as talking to someone?

[sdenton4]

People talking to each other in person tend to modulate their voices to match the context. People talking on speakerphone tend to crank the volume and shout.

A half conversation is a lot more disruptive because your brain try to fill in the gap of information.

This comment chain is talking about people using speakerphone, though, meaning they hear both sides of the conversation

If their voices sounded shrill/unnaturally amplified/too loud, definitely. Listening to an annoying conversation on speakerphone is 10x more annoying than when it's face-to-face.
