I saw a bloke walking down the street the other day talking really loudly.
Thanks to the size of mobile phones, it was hard to say if he was talking loudly to himself, being extremely loud down the phone at someone, or didn't have a phone and was in fact yelling at someone in the next county.

reminds me of
the first time I encountered someone using a handsfree phone - i was taking a shortcut down a back lane, and saw a man walking toward me talking animatedly into a hamburger.

The great thing about them
is that you can look someone straight in the eye and carry on your conversation with the person on the phone. Confused my manager in work with that one on numerous occasions.

Knowing who we work for,
I'd say that's probably not difficult...

quality
my mate worked for royal mail and did a round that some old lady used to do, he did her 5 hour round in 1.5 hours, he was getting paid £18 an hour or something stupid, he blames their problems on him.
