Social Blunder #25
Bluetooth wireless headsets are not a fashion accessory. The only times it is acceptable to be wearing and/or using one of these things is if you are driving a car or doing Mission Impossible-style acrobatics while talking to someone on the phone (and the odds are 6 billion to one against you being Tom Cruise). It not only makes you look like a grade A dork but also makes it impossible to know if you're talking to me, to someone on the phone, or to yourself.
Just don't do it.

InFREAKINGDeed! Those people drive me nuts! I am tried of people looking like the are talking to themselves with those things.
I keep thinking everyone is talking to themselves and it drives me nuts. I keep wanting to call mental health people to cart them away.
I am guilty of wearing one lately but I don’t go into public places talking on it. I’m scared of talking on the regular phone and looking like a dork.
I just happen to have hour long conference calls on my cell phone from work. 😀
I love that Jesse is writing about this. When he got one of these for an old job, it never left his ear until I threatened to stop being seen with him in public. I told him he looked like a Cyborg. Actually, I think I told him he looked like “One of those robot-like aliens on that dumb Star Trek movie.” I didn’t even know the name. He promptly corrected me.
I still married him. I’m happy to see that I’ve influenced his pet peeves for the better.
I once told a lady at a cell phone kiosk that I wont do business with her because she looks pretentious wearing the BT.
That made me smile. But the Panda lunch was extra smile worthy.
