Ask Amy: I realized too late I was on speaker phone

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:35:52 GMT

Dear Amy: More and more people seem to use their speaker phone when they’re on personal calls.This makes it very difficult to have any comfortably “private” conversations, because very often you don’t know the phone is on speaker until someone in the room replies to something you thought you were discussing privately!I’ve asked and re-asked that they let me know when my calls are being broadcast.The answer I get most often is: “We have no secrets here” or, “When we get to talking about private things, I turn it off.”That’s fine for them, but it doesn’t help me.All too often, I have to think back on our conversation to assure myself that nothing untoward was discussed before realizing I was likely sharing my private thoughts with brothers, sisters, mates, the dog or cat.Please, what more can I do to stop this great invasion of my personal privacy?– Angry and FrustratedDear Angry: Some people reflexively use their speaker bec...
