Found the sandwich speaker.

Talking like this? Fucking irritating in public. Speaker so loud everyone can hear, not even trying to lower their voice Like the area is loud so they gotta turn up and talk loud. You know what else solves this? Taking it off speaker and holding it to your ear like a phone.

Their phone flat out in front makes their profile larger, and I know that seems silly but that’s another foot and a half in an already cramped bus.
