#7 People forgetting how to talk into a mobile phone. Instead of holding it so the mic is by your mouth and the speaker by your ear, now people hold it flat and shout at the bottom while wondering why they can't hear the other person properly. I don't care if this makes me sound old, it just makes zero sense.
