Same here. Really annoying. 
On a related subject I was sitting in the BA lounge in Terminal 5 the other day having breakfast (etc.) with SWMBO and a chap was sitting near us (in the dining area) not eating but just having a very loud business phone call.
In the end I just stared at him until he noticed me watching and paused. I told him (politely) that it was really distracting listening to one half of a very loud conversation while trying to eat and that there were other more suitable places to indulge. 
He toned it down but didn't bother moving.
