I don't know.it beats me why people need to walk around with a phone fixed to their ears all the time anyway. It makes me wonder what they find to talk about all the time.My nephew texts his mother from his room upstiars to her in the kitchen, to see when his meal is ready, and she answers him. She's the daft one I think.

Well upon entering the various premises you describe, i would assume they have finished their call and are ready to do what they have to do.It is bad manners to have the phone to your ear while you are engaging with members of the public.Putting the phone in a pocket or purse is a normal thing to do.If they are pretending to be on the phone, i have no idea why they would do that.

How do you KNOW these 'people' are pretending? I suppose that IF 'people' were actually doing this then they're all deluded! Weird too. Really, really weird man....Peace.

Maybe they don't want to pay the fare when getting on a train or bus, and tell the bus driver or ticket-taker, "he/she (the person on the phone) will pay it. Doesn't always work!

because they want to look cool and important. Or, maybe b/c they're nervous around people and want to distract themselves from having to look at people and talking to them.
