-ipads, tablets and smartphones and trying to talk to someone with their head stuck in one of them

-people asking for the wifi number when they go into your house or a pub

-the fact that you cannot go into Tesco and pay for a product(that is not in the store yet) and get it delivered to the shop, if you do not have click and collect.

People walking along (or worse driving along) using the speakerphone option on their handset to conduct a phone call.
Using the speakerphone does not make it hands free if you are holding it.
They only do it on the Apprentice so the viewers can hear both ends of the call.

I don't know if you are agreeing with me or not but my first point was referring to someone on the phone in the same room as me, and not a phonecall

Mine was referring to people making calls. I tagged my reply to yours as it was a phone related gripe.
