Holding a mobile telephone horizontally in front of yourself and shouting at it, then moving it to the side of your head, holding it sticking out from your ear horizontally to listen to what the other person says… instead of just holding it in one place to do both, like a telephone.
I use speaker most of the time when I’m not around other people. Just more comfortable for me so I don’t have to hold my arm up.
I suppose someone who is also used to using speaker could just not notice when it would be better to use the earpiece.
But yeah the meta for phone answering nowadays seems to be speaker phone primarily.
Edit: to clarify I always switch to the appropriate mode given the situation and fuck you if you’re on the phone being loud to people around you
