JoeB from Brampton, Canada
This is the best room for reception, but you still have to plug one ear. Those tiles, I get the feeling this might be a Tim's.
10 Feb 2009 3:03pm
@JoeB: LOL nope not Timmy's but thanks very much!
Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France

10 Feb 2009 3:36pm
@dobbino: There you go Rob, you've been trained properly lol ;)
mellofello from United Kingdom
Good shot. He could be in the cloakroom of a tin factory (finger in ear). He could be breaking a date with his Love or she/he with him. (Sorry, can't make it tonight. Got to work). A picture with pathos.
10 Feb 2009 4:07pm

Stephen Phillips from San Francisco, United States
Well framed, Lorraine. As the fellow on the phone is your subject - I'd like to see a better exposure on him.

Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
Great candid, I agree, even if I do sound like Miss Ditto. I can't help it. What strikes me . . . it's nice that he went off to speak privately rather than foisting his conversation on innocent bystanders.
10 Feb 2009 8:01pm
@Bookfool: Yes, it surprised me too, what no cell? wow....lol Thanks Booky!

Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Phone call from the closet, is that where you have to go nowadays for a spot of privacy and space. I bet he didn't bank on you coming along to disturb the peace.
10 Feb 2009 9:45pm
@Richard_Irwin: Hey Richard, if he would have seen me, he would have winked...he's that kind of guy lol thanks a lot!
arlene from United States
I want to listen in on the conversation. I notice that the man seems to be trying hard to hear. His other hand shields is other ear. It is probably loud where he is and his is probably talking loudly in response.
10 Feb 2009 9:51pm
@arlene: I never listen in, partly 'cause I don't care, I just want a photo lol yeah I can be mean lol thanks always Arlene
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom

Barbara from Florida, United States
Wife or girlfriend on the other end.... so he needs quiet to hear the list of errands to do before getting home. That's what I like about your images they set my imagination in motion. Well spotted, Lorraine.
11 Feb 2009 4:36am
@Barbara: That's what I like about YOU, everything lol thanks a lot Barb :)
