loads of people are talking on their mobile phones now but without having their phone touching their head. not on speaker phone either. they just hold it a few inches away from their head. stop it. all of you.

  why does there need to be a space between head and phone?

        the PMA from believing you won't get it because you're holding the phone away stops you getting cancer

    I retract my earlier agreement. I've never seen anyone do this in my life.

I believe it's a way of building muscle mass

bit lazy resting it against your head.

Balonz | 7 Feb '14, 16:06 | X
it's being advised for health reasons.

Is it because they think the touchscreen will still work

and they'll accidentally do things with their cheek?

j0hn | 7 Feb '14, 16:07 | X
Makes it look like you don't really know what a phone is

just shouting in to a little plastic box.

crisps | 7 Feb '14, 16:08 | X
- Actually
  
  I thought you meant in front of them. Just holding it off to the side a bit? Never witnessed this.
  
  crisps @crisps | 7 Feb '14, 16:16 | X
you wouldn't leave a gap between your body and your clothes

Sometimes I would do this if I am listening to music on headphones.

Never do it in public though because you would look like a gobshite.
