Only an absolute moron and a decided enemy of humanity communicates by any means that bypasses writing from a plane. Aside from that, it’s a surefire way of losing faith in humanity if you are forced to find out the kind of stupid things people talk about on their FaceTime calls.
FaceTime on a Plane

I dunno. I lost my faith in humanity once on an airplane, without any smartphones at all. I sat a row in front of two college girls on a gap-year international trip. They were just chatting with each other.

Even cell phone calls, where people don’t feel the need to lower their voice. I remember once in a regional bus there was a guy talking to a friend about a mutal acquaintance who’d been arrested and speculating on the sentence for…. oh a long time. I could understand about half the prison jargon (the stuff that most people know) and the most interest part was wondering if he’d be sent to the ‘castle’ (mental ward).

Or that one time when we landed in Chicago and it was taking forever to let us get off the plane. One woman started commenting the situation very loudly on her phone in Russian. From SpB she clearly was. Deeply annoying.
