What amuses me though is that even when they`re talking on the phone, Mexicans continue to use lots of gestures that are completely wasted because the guy on the other end can`t see them.

I'm not Mexican, but I'm hand gesture crazy. I work on the phone, so I have to look absolutely ridiculous when I'm on a call. The girl who sits next to me has commented on my excess of hand gestures on several occasions. I'm like Italian-level over-the-top with my hand gestures.
