My old boss's phone would echo back at you when you'd try to talk. Reeeeally fun trying to explain a fuckup over the phone with him.

No, it can't. It can disturb the speech of some people.

A bit akin to those "drunk glasses" or something. No, they don't actually make you drunk, and this doesn't actually prevent you from speaking. It's just a matter of getting used to slightly weird thing.

When I worked in taxi dispatch I *had" to get used to this because the phone lines would pretty often just have the maon features of this "gun" as a fault of some sort.

It's weird hearing your voice with a tiny delay, but you get used to it.

Edit also it's like 15 years old

The whole country of japan invented this? That must have been a huge group project

If my memory serves correctly, this is the thing that basically plays everything you say back to you with a 200ms delay that instantly makes you feel awkward.

Oh god. If I hear myself through people's speakers when on a call I cannot continue. It's super effective at making me confused and distracted. That's awful.

Yeah, I'm guessing it was that, which won an IgNobel prize like a decade ago.

If you've ever worked in a call center, this kind of thing happens from time to time. After a couple times you learn to ignore it and push through.
