Hi, You Look Stupid
Filed under: Vexed - May 22, 2007 @ 7:39 am
I hate those bluetooth wireless headsets people stick in their ear and then march around in public looking smug and important. If you are guilty of this, you need to stop reading my blog right now. You are banned. No, you don’t look all Matrix sci-fi spectacular.
I don’t care if those things save lives - they look stupid.
(Check out the blog I snagged this image from. Brilliant!)

Couldn’t agree more. It’s one thing to use it and then put it away, but to parade around all day long like you’re on the cutting edge, it’s looks stupid. My now ex-girlfriend got one when she bought her new phone last year, and I was biting my tongue, telling myself, “Yeah, but she’s got a smoking hot ass and the sex is great so suck it up!!!”
Also, do they clean those things when they’re done or just plop it back in the next day? YUCK!!!

People wearing them look like cyborgs and not nearly as hot as the female cyborgs on Star Trek either. I don’t think they would actually save lives either - people are still distracted talking on the phone (whether both hands are on the steering wheels or not!).

There’s something painfully disturbing about having a bluetooth earpiece attached to the head of my dick. Besides, do I really need to give my dick another option of talking it’s way into trouble…me thinks naught.

These guys make me think of The Borg.
I really want one of those things and I will when I get around to shopping for a new phone. BUT, I also agree you don’t need to wear it constantly. I fellow who works for me and has had Bluetooth for a couple of years finds it perfectly workable to keep the unit in his short pocket. When his phone rings or buzzes, he take it out, slips it on and presses the button, all in 3 seconds. Voila.
