I hate being on speaker phones......
I called an Acura dealership about a used NSX and the dickhole put me on the speaker phone?? after about 10 seconds I asked for a different sales person and he hung up on me..... No soup for me...or him..
anyway..... why the hell would you put somone you don't even know (that you would in theory be trying to sell something to) on a speaker phone.?

I very rarely use speaker phone at work. However, I'm usually at a client site, so I'm using a client's phone in a client's office. Probably not in good taste to broadcast my conversations across a strange office.
Here's a funny story - I was sharing an office at a client site with another guy from my firm. We had our faces burried in our laptops, pounding out some sort of stupid spreadsheet, or presentation, or whatever. Well, we heard the woman in the office to our left start dialing (she was a notorious speaker-phoner). Seconds later we heard the phone in the office to our right start ringing. The guy in that office answered, also on speaker phone. Well, the two of them sat in their offices, no more than 20 ft. apart, and yelled into their respective microphones. This other guy and I just sat, listening to the two of them speaking to each other. It was just too funny. We were practically on the floor because we were laughing so hard. Maybe this is one of those, "you had to be there" moments, but funny nonetheless.
Anyway, I really don't understand the whole speakerphone thing. If I want to convey a certain attitude while on the phone, I stand up. Seriously, it works.
