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.

    • preferable to this floating phone thing

      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

            • Well if you take health advice from Brian Molko

              you deserve all you get.

      not in front of their mouth/ it's round the side of their head, just not touching their head/ear

      cat_race @zxcvbnm- | 7 Feb '14, 16:02 | X
      • Oh

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

    • motion to abollish the word phone

  • 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.

    pieces_of_reece | 7 Feb '14, 16:06 | X
  • 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.
