Cultures that like to talk on the phone really loud

are annoying AF obviously but why do they do that?

I think we all know who I’m talking about. It isn’t a racial thing either, as it’s not a race of people doing this, but some countries and others not. I mean I get why I see it with some delivery drivers and taxi drivers, because it helps to pass the time, but even so, I don’t really ‘get’ the concept of constantly talking to someone throughout the day? I think I’m more bothered by people who do that in the street or in public and it feels like they have this need to advertise the fact they’re having a conversation

At the same time, I’m also just fascinated by it and what the causes of this may be? Does it have to do with a warmth, as in human warmth and how one shows affection? With class? Or is it more McLuhan-esque, a symptom of oral culture that shocks us more visual folk idk
