So much to learn about women, so little time Denny. Try again.

Hehe nope I wasn’t anywhere near the malfunctioning handset, must be my all-conquering luck that got to it without my knowledge this time around…

BANG

well, well, well… i suppose holding the mic is another way of showing off how very, very important they really think they need to be. I myslef love holding the hands free speaker in the palm of my hand… plus otherwise i simply walk off away from the phone, as many people will probably attest to… damned engineering limitations… why won’t the phone listen to me all the time!!
plus many people cannot actually multitask, and don’t give me crap about women being able to do it, when ppl multitask they do multiple things half arsed, when your a woman, you do everything half arsed, so multitaking it just a way of doing things half right at double speed.

Thanks for the inspiration David Sobey… BANG!!

I think the holding the microphone thing is a bit intuitive. In the same way that when you do kareoke, or anything where you need to hold a mic, you just KNOW how to hold it. I dont think the object looks obvious, but once you’re handed it, you know just where to put it. I totally agree that the purpose of hands free is bloody well to keep your hands free, but… I can also understand how (if your hands dont need to do anything else) it’d feel weird to not hold something and be talking to someone. So I’m a fence sitter.

Also, I doubt the functionality of the particular device concerned would be optimum. Gem was within 100 meters, right?

But yep, grabbing the mike seems a bit unnecessary…
