Another annoyance. People who conduct two conversations simultaneously, one on the phone and the other with a person in the presence the speaker. The person on the other end of the line never knows if you are talking to him or the other person. If you talking to someone - focus on him. Later on you can talk to the next guy. Sort of like davening, now you talking to Hashem, later you can talk to your friend.


Prepare for Chanukah.
