An Open Letter to Bluetooth Users

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.

People on pretty much any government benefit now qualify for a free cellphone with 86 minutes a month which roll over. It's a basic little Motorola candy bar phone. No camera.

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.

just the other day i watched this orca buy about 100 bucks worth of crap food with her link card (il foodstamps) as well as beer (paid out of the roll of 20's she pulled out of her purse)....on my way out she was loading those groceries into a range rover....with 22's (i know they are 22's because of her license plate)
it was phenominal...
i was also on a softball website that i frequent and we were talking about socializing healthcare...one schmoe goes "i can't afford healthcare so i'm all for it!" in this posters sig he lists off the 20 softball bats he owns and a link to his website which has pics of his 2 cars that are well worth more than the vehicles i own....

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.

there have been a few times when i thought a guy was talking to me and he was wearing an earpiece....at that point to save myself from embrassment i just keep asking him the question and treat him like a lunatic talking to himself...

If you're talking about the name, it's not an insult.

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.
