    It took a few years, but now unless it’s really important or she thinks I’m probably not on the bus, my wife now texts to ask if I’m able to talk. I hate people who do these things and I feel incredibly uncomfortable speaking on the phone when I’m on public transit.

      Same here. I know my voice is loud. I have a paralyzed vocal cord and can’t talk quietly — only loud or louder. I also just generally hate talking on the phone 😆

        My voice is fairly deep, so even when I’m speaking quietly it travels. Beyond not wanting to have everyone on the bus hearing about my business, it’s fucking rude…
