Damn the speakerphones!

I really don't believe that any hardware developers working in major mobile phone companies knew the evil they were creating when they introduced the speakerphone feature on todays mobile phones... First, it was used to amplify the party you are speaking to, but later on, it became an annoyance of great proportions. On Serbia's streets (I'm currently talking about Subotica, but the situation may be, and probably is, very similar), people of all ages are using their mobile phones as mp3 players, which is nice (seeing that buying separate mp3 devices is not compatible with their budget)... except one thing - no headphones. That's right, the "yellers" crank the volume up to the max, create a short playlist, and start their 1km long journey with their cranked up mobile phone playing their favorite tune, creeping along, annoying everybody around them, emitting noise that really isn't music, but simply the static and distortions that the poor magnet emmits in it's creaks of pain and overload... Here's a hint, ya retards: HEADPHONES! That's right, I don't want to listen to YOUR songs, and there's a big bonus for that "no" if you are listening to local folk songs! If your speakerphone is producing any kind of noice, whether it's music or video sound, keep the acoustics inside the privacy of your own home/bathroom/watering hole. While an mp3 file is playing, don't hold the phone in your hand, don't put it in your pocket, don't hang it around your neck - get a freakin' pair of headphones and enjoy your music! (otherwise, you'll just piss people off and gather unwanted attention)
