    A product that will allow me to stop hearing loud phone talkers in public? Awesome. Now can I please get a cannon that will fire these onto people’s faces? That’d be greeeeat

      I’ve found joining in the conversation works 80% of the time .15% they complain, but it still works. The 5% can get awkward, unless you’re really up for making a new, highly extroverted friend!

        I sometimes do this with people walking past my house yammering to someone on their phone. I live in a nice quiet neighborhood and people go out for their walks and just YELL into their headpieces, sometimes with foul language, like they’re in their own world.

        But with that asshole on the train I need to be in for the next 40 minutes, it’s a little more awkward.
