God, I seriously hate it when people wear their stupid bluetooth headsets and walk around looking like idiots with some goofy star trek lookin' thing around their ear as they talk to themselves like a crazy person. then i start talking to them, and they look at me like i'm the crazy one, like it should be so obvious that they are on a call. screw bluetooth headsets. keep them in the car people!
(i'm at work by the way. stupid bluetooth wearing customers)

It's ok if they kindly point to their ear. That's something I get from a co-worker time to time. I think those are way better than phones you have to hold up to your face. Get with the times Gabe!

I'm sorry I can't stand it either. I can understand like crazy big business people who move a mile a minute, but if you're an average person you can't just hold a phone? They make them soooo small now that I hardly see the inconvenience.
You look like you're talking to yourself. Loudly. About your personal life. Which no one cares about. At all. Sentence fragments.

Well I actually do want to get one sometime, but I wouldn't wear it around in public. I think they are fine if you use them in the car or in the privacy of your own home, but in public it just looks very silly, whether they're talking on it or not.

Yeah Gabe I guess so. I would like one for home use and definitely for work. Talking on the phone and delivering papers can be quite the burden if you're not using a bluetooth. Fuck it though I wouldn't want to pay money for one of those  |

i only hate these things because i've NEVER had one that worked:
1. the way it was supposed too
2. the way i wanted it too.
other than like, REALLY simple the button answers the call functions. usually not even the volume works.
i've probably just had shit ones though.

i've seen them for as low as $10 at my work before! those probably really suck though. even when people spend $100 on them, a lot of them come back with complaints. i don't think they've quite perfected the technology yet.
too bad we all just can't get Codecs implanted into our skulls to stimulate the small bones of our ear like in Metal Gear. Then it would have excellent quality AND wouldn't look dorky!

yes, it is funny seeing these middle aged, clean cut, professional christian men with some strange metal, futuristic, blinking, star trek object attached to the side of their head. im actually kind of surprised this became so publicly acceptable. im into some pretty dorky things, and even i think these things look weird!! but then again, its now a safety law, so i guess people dont really have much of a choice but to eventually get one if people are going to use these blue tooth devices in public, they need to say the person's name they are taking to at the end of every sentence or something! it can be quite awkward when people say "hello" or "hey whats up" and i start a conversation with them without realizing they arent talking to me  |

It's kinda like the advanced futuristic version of when you see someone waving so you wave back, only to realize they're actually waving at someone behind you.

EDIT: also, typing in the wrong window. especially if it's a whole paragraph or something. |

EDIT: also, typing in the wrong window. especially if it's a whole paragraph or something. So many awkward situations arose in my middle school years from IM's appearing in the wrong window. it could be some big secret, or something as small as a, "Hey sexy." It was wonderful and awful at the same time. |
