    I wanna know their witch doctor because that guy is easily three times older than he looks. Everyone I know above 60 does this. Give me that fountain of youth and I’ll keep your secret.

      I’ve never seen anyone over 30 do this. Having ridden the metro for years, though, maybe we see different people.

      It all depends who watches those shit reality shows, because I’ll bet that’s where they learn it.

        I kinda live in a small town so maybe different lifestyles. I find it funny when they still have it on speaker but hold it up to their ear like a regular call because they don’t want to bother everyone else. I try to let them know sometimes and they look confused for a brief second before continuing their conversation on the phone with the speaker on, I guess they’re really focused on the call.

        They’re pretty comfortable with voice to text too, completely oblivious of their surroundings as they proofread and curse the phone out for miss understanding them. Or they type it out one letter at a time with their index finger heavily relying on the suggestions. My grandfather sat in the car replying ok to a text message and it took him like two minutes to navigate his phone.
