Wireless technology is a wonderful thing. One of the newest gadgets on the market today is the Bluetooth headset. I, for one, like high tech gadgets as much as the next guy, but one thing that really pisses me off is the number of people that are running around wearing their Bluetooth headset like it is jewelery!

I HATE MORONS WHO WEAR BLUETOOTH HEADSETS AS JEWELERY!!!

Although it might be nice to be able to chat on your cell phone hands free, is it really necessary to run around town wearing them like earings?!?

I have been in Washington DC for a few days now and it is surprising how many people have Bluetooth headsets for their cell phones. For those of you who do not know what a Bluetooth headset is, let me explain...

A Bluetooth headset is an earpiece with a microphone extending from it that wirelessly connects to your cell phone and allows the user to talk on the phone hands free. It really is a neat little device... but it has some drawbacks.

First of all, when you are talking on the phone, people that are standing on the wrong side of you think you are talking to yourself. While in the airport, a guy behind me was talking on his "earing" and I could've sworn he was trying to have a weird conversation with me.

Secondly, you have to have your phone handy. dialing and answering seem to be handled exclusively by the phone. I don't have one, so correct me if I am wrong, but if you have to dial and answer through your cell phone, wouldn't you also have time to put the queer earpiece in your ear at that time?

OK, now I can see where someone who is constantly on the phone and doing alot of business woud want one of these things (that still doesn't excuse wearing it all of the time), but when cabbies, bus drivers, teenagers and janitors are wearing them, I have to say that it is UNNECESSARY!!!!

Get a F%$king life!!!

Can there really be a janitorial emergency so important that a call must be answered more quickly than the time it would take to put a phone to your ear?!? And those bus driving emergencies.... I don't know why they don't have a phone booth on the bus so that the bus driver has a place to change into their tights so they can answer the heroic call! Holy emergency bus problem Busman! The bluetooth symbol is going off... It is time to ROLL!

I guess the janitor can change in the janitorial closet. Maybe they'd have a big red J on their chest and they'd wear a plunger on their head (and a bluetooth headset in their ear). They could thwart the evil litterbugs and killer dustbunnies of the world!

THANK GOD FOR THE BLUETOOTH HEADSET!!!!
