Every country has behavioural quirks that go towards defining its national character. But there’s one particular thing the Italians do that has me scratching my head. Now, everyone knows that the proper way to use a smart phone is to hold it in one hand while you tap and swipe away at it with the other. At least that’s the way it’s done in Australia. But I keep seeing Italians doing an odd thing with theirs. They hold it to their head and speak into it, almost as if they’re engaged in a conversation. Weird.
