Speaker phone drives me crazy. I use it because it can be helpful at times, but the sound quality when someone puts me on speaker is poor and I find it distracting. Am I the only one?

Yes, the echo is distracting but I can deal with it. Speaker phone is often really useful, especially when I'm talking and need to use my hands to fold clothes or something.
I know what you mean. I try not to use it unless I'm calling a doctor's office and know I'll be on hold for a while trying to get in touch with someone. That way I can be hands free and doing things and still hear when the front office picks up.
I don't like it either, but I tolerate it when I feel it is necessary or convenient. For example, as someone already mentioned, when I am on hold and not sure how long I am going to be on hold for, I find it convenient to use.
