I'm with you. I make it a point to speak softer on the phone for that exact reason. If I can't hear well, then I'll move somewhere where I can, or turn the volume up. There should be some socially accepted way of making someone talk softly on a cell phone. Not that your idea to "...slap the bloddy things off their faces!" isn't a good one.
What do you mean by "effing and blinding?" Effing, as in F***, or something else. No idea what the "blinding" may be.

She spoke quietly to him, but kept phoning people up and going on and on about "I'm on the bus, yeah? ... I'll be there soon, yeah? ... I'll sort it out, yeah? ... ", over and over again the same thing, in a LOUD voice, iterspersed with "effing and blinding".
