Stupid ass people who strap wireless devices to the side of their head

I'll do it even more just to piss you off, hows that?

Oh yea, it's illegal to talk on your handset in the car around here so everyone uses them.

Do you try avoiding a person who is sitting next to you in the passenger seat too?

Actually I do, I have no problem tuning them out or telling them to hang on a second. Just ask Derek, it annoys the crap out of him.

Oh I don't eat and drive either, if I have food I only eat at the stoplights or in light interstate traffic. There has been many a time that I get to the ski resort and have only had 3 bites of my breakfast.

Fly it like you stole it!

I am a motorcycle salesperson and that is my biggest pet peve. I'll be explaining something and then all of a sudden they turn around and start walking away talking to the air. It's sofa king rude.

Donald Trump, Bill Gates, and George W. Bush were having a meeting at the White House. Suddenly Trump's Bluetooth rings.

"What is that?" Bush says.
Trump replies, "It's my new Bluetooth wireless phone. With just this one earpiece, I can talk and listen on the phone."

Suddenly Gates says, "Hmm. I understand. Send them out by mid-morning and we'll add their invoices to the next sales report."

"What are you doing?" Bush asks.

"Oh! Sorry about that. I have a tiny microphone attached to my back tooth, and a wireless receiver surgically implanted inside my ear. Now I can send and receive calls without doing anything at all with my hands."

Suddenly Bush feels a huge fart coming. He says, "Could somebody hand me a piece of paper? I think I'm getting a fax."

HEEHEHAHAHEHHAHEHAHHAEHHEEEEE!!!!

"DOOR!!!"

People like the idea of using ear buds to get the microwave transmitter in the cell phone away from their brain. With the bluetooth headset, you get to jam it right in your ear. On the other hand, ear buds made it socially acceptable to talk to yourself, maybe the bluetooth set will make it socially acceptable to be a trekkie (trekker?)

A typical bluetooth headset emits around 2-3mW of RF power.
A typical GSM cellphone emits between 200-300mW of RF power.
A typical microwave oven emits around 800,000-1,200,000mW of RF power.

Actually, for us half-deaf people, the bluetooth headsets with the ear insert are a godsend...

Actually. That is what vibrate is for.

In anycase, I like the headset. particularly when I am at the store and have a lot of items in my hand. Much easier to push a button to talk than trying to reach into my pocket while balancing everything I am holding.


But that does not mean I wear it all the time. Just when I think it MIGHT come in handy.

Maybe I should have emphasized the "ear insert" part.... it's not that I don't hear the phone ring, although sometimes I may not, depending on ambient noise...it's hearing the person on the other end when I answer the phone. Most cell phones are just BARELY loud enough. The ear insert (like Jabra has) is MUCH better for me than the normal earpiece.

We had a friend who did this with her boyfriend for a while until we started a strict "no talking to the boyfriend when you're talking to us" rule.

I would have instituted that policy by snatching the phone off her head and crushing it under my foot while wearing a "have you completely taken leave of your senses?" expression on my face

lol....temper, temper....let's not let it flare....heh.

It's rude. Then I have friends who think it's rude for me to never answer my phone....which I never answer when I'm with somebody else. I think if I just had a home phone and no cell phone, I'd probably answer it more....like we did in the old days. Phone rings, we'd jump up and answer it....whether we were eating dinner or not (or whatever). Now I retrieve the message and call folks back. Is that rude too?

Now what I honestly don't understand is the people who walk around using their phone like a walkie talkie, on speakerphone.

I was in a dressing room once when a guy beeped his wife's phone. She had it on speakerphone and proceeded to tell him that she was trying on clothes and her friend was with her. He got off on that and started saying things like, "did you touch her tits" and "does she like the way your ass looks in your thong". This went on for a few minutes and finally I got tired of his redneck hee-haw at everything he was saying so I just yelled out, "you know, people can hear all that". There was dead silence and then a quick, "I'll talk to you later" from the wife.

What I really hate is when people have you on speakerphone out in public and don't tell you!

because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon

When Motorola started their iDen sector (which designed all the PTT Nextel phones and accompanying infrastructure) it was targeted at small businesses that wanted two-way radio service across local areas, but couldn't afford their own network like police/fire departments had. This was a great way for any onsite work, delivery operations, etc. to stay in comms, and there are tons of companies like this.

Sadly, this is yet another case where marketing lost track of "The Whole Point" (tm) and now we have people carrying on phone-call lenth conversations hundreds of miles from each other with a "bla-deep bla-doop" between every thing they say. Which... just... I...

...I'm holding my head with both hands right now so my brains don't come out my ears.
