    Why do people do this in public?

    • they know that holding it <5mm from your skin is dangerousuan
    • No idea. It is bizarre yet very common isn't it. Never guys though I feel. Unless they are Indian or Polish and speaking a different language.Hayzilla

    • because they think they have to. They use WhatsApp voice mail and because they have their phone on front of them, typing and listen to the phone while holdingmekk
    • it, they also talk while holding it like that. It is simply bad UX.mekk
    • I do it because I don't have a headset on me, and I don't know if it's safe to have a phone next to my head for long periods of time.pinkfloyd
    • ^ I hope your joking!Hayzilla

    • ...because he is actually having a heated argument w/ his imaginary gnome, the phone is just his tiny platformprophetone
    • maybe more research is needed, but one thing's for sure there's not difference between holding it in front of your face and on the side of it.zarkonite
    • Because my old ass phone only works in speaker mode.i_monk
    • I like it when pretty girls do it.NBQ00
    • The bulk of the waves emanate from the back of the phone - if you take a phone apart you'll see there are shields in 'front' of the transmitters...Nairn
    • ..so all this guy is doing is focuing the EM radiation on his balls. No matter the frequency's such that most of it doesn't get past the epidermal layer of skinNairn
    • This is of concern to the likes of pinkflyod because he's quite thin-skinned and his balls look like they've been in the microwave for a few weeks anyway.Nairn
    • thanks nairn , now it makes sense ..when u hold the phone like that u dont have balls , must be conclusion.neverscared
    • I do it too. I always get a headache as soon as the phone touches my ear._niko
    • ...but i've had a history of cluster headaches so not sure if i'm just more sensitive._niko
    • using outside its def. annoying..http://cdn...neverscared
    • I understand not wanting to smear your sweaty face across a screen you need to read and maybe even the fear of (unproven) BIOElectro shit...PonyBoy
    • ... and also there may be a need to read your screen while talking... however, none of those override the fact you are loud as is your speakerphone... shhh.PonyBoy
    • oh yeah missed the outside part, super douchie lol_niko
    • I blame The Apprentice...see_thru
    • I used to play a game of 'blutooth headset or mental'.antonyjwhite
