To Bluetooth users:

If I am in a shopping aisle and you walk up behind me and say 'hey, what's going on', and I respond "pardon me" as I turn around, please don't roll your eyes at me like I'm a complete idiot who doesn't understand technology. I get it. A simple, 'Oh, I'm sorry, I wasn't talking to you... I'm on a bluetooth. I apologize for the misunderstanding.'

Otherwise, you're a d-----.

Signed,

Everyone.

I've got one but I feel like a total toolbag when I'm wearing it. So I just wear it in the car. Other times it's not too difficult to hold the phone up to my head. I work out.

it's always nice to go to wal-mart when the welfare checks come out and you see all the people on welfare with 5+ kids wearing bluetooth devices and talking on them the whole time. if you are on welfare, are you really that darn important and shouldn't you be spending the money on feeding the 5+ children you have? even better are the ones that wear them like it's jewelry...

Or if you go down to the homeless shelter and get in the soup lines... you probably shouldn't whip out your camera phone to snap pics of Michelle Obama...

I also have one but I only use it when driving long distances, but I originally bought it so I could play X Box while the ex was screaming at me on the phone.

Not necessarily, if I was hunting for a job I'm pretty sure I'd want to have a way for my prospective employers to contact me.

But still, those types of phones don't have cameras on them. Something tells me that the guy taking the photo didn't have the phone just so employers could call him back.

I've got an earpiece but I only use it in the car or when I need my hands free, which is basically when I'm doing laundry. if I ever have to wear it out and about, it's very small, so it shouldn't attract too much attention.

Just so we're clear...

Bluetooth is a wireless data protocol. It can be used for lots of things like headsets for phones.

"A bluetooth" is a non-sensical phrase. It's like seeing someone with a laptop at Starbucks and saying "He had a WiFi."

I understand it's become part of the common vernacular, but it shouldn't have. It's wrong.

"A bluetooth headset" is a solid choice. Learn it. Use it.
