Stop it, people. Seriously.

I understand using it in the car, or even while sitting at your desk and typing or doing something else that requires use of your hands. Heck, I'm even considering one for the car.

But beyond that, meaning in a restaurant, or the mall, or at the golf course, or the game, OR PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE ELSE YOU MIGHT BE IN THE VIEW OF OTHERS, stop wearing them! Apparently, you have no idea how unbelievably idiotic you look.

I am reminded of a quip I once heard from David Spade, where he said people who think they look all cool riding around in rented limousines are basically saying "ooh, look at me... ...I have eighty dollars!" Same thing.

And for the record, more than anything else that kid looks cute. But still unbelievably idiotic.

Which, of course, they already do, for letting her wear the Bluetooth® thingy.

True story: a dude wore his at the gym last week. No big deal? This included:

1. wearing it into the gym,
2. wearing it during his workout (weights and stationary bike), and
3. wearing it during his shower (made sure his head didn't get wet).

The funny thing is, I don't think he ever got a call, he just wore the dang thing the whole time.

But it was better once you crushed his skull with a 40 pound weight. Right?

I've got an MP3 player in my phone and listen via Bluetooth from time to time. Keeps me from accidentally yanking the cord out. :O

I think I speak for everyone when I say that I'm totally for anything that keeps you from yanking your cord out.

I think that's a perfectly acceptable reason. I just wanted you to know that you look like an idiot while doing so.

They should make a device that when you push a button a signal is sent to the bluetooth and their head explodes.

You know, go all "Scanners" on their *ss.

YEAH! Or, like, I could call them and push a button and poke the ever-lovin' crap out of their earhole.

That would be...awesome.

If I was worried about that then I probably wouldn't go out at all.

I have one. I used it one day at home and in the car when I was babysitting and needed both hands. My hearing isn't what it use to be so it came in handy, however the instructions were accidentally thrown away and its been in the drawer ever since. :O

I'll bet it looks nice sitting on top of the VCR flashing "12:00".

I wouldn't dream of mouse wheelin' my way through this poor man's Mr. Blackwellesque rant without my bluetooth's calming blue light winking out a special message to Jed...

I think the radio waves have done something to your brain. And, I think the message it's flashing is to you, and it says "you look like an idiot."

I don't like to wear my bluetooth in public because it looks like i'm talking to myself. I do however, wear it in the car or at the house. I guess that makes me a closet Bluetoother. iono

See this is the problem. Not that the actual headset makes anyone look like an idiot, but that you look like your talking to yourself.

My cost a bit more than $89, although I did get a big discount!:P
