Public Bluetooth User, or Babbling Vagrant?
You tell me.
Don't get me wrong, in the fast paced, multi-tasking world of today, cell phone Bluetooth technology is a wonderful thing - at the OFFICE or in the CAR. Out in public however, lose the earpiece folks. You all look like my estranged, babbling, street-person Uncle Vinny.
Sorry.....just callin' it like I see it.

Yeah, once in a great while I think they are talking to me and try to answer a question they asked.
I also use one of these but I hate mine. Not sure if they are all this way but my Motorola bluetooth working with my Samsung cell phone has barely adequate volume and is noisy as heck on my side and the reciever's side. Could just be the phone and or the cell service but sometimes I can barely understand a conversation with or without the bluetooh.
And when I am talking in public, I feel like one of those winos that talks to themselves.
Just my experience,

I get a kick out of the people that wear their headset ALL THE TIME. No matter where they are or what they're doing. It just screams self-importance. "Look at me! I'm so important that I have to wear this headset everywhere I go because someone might call me at ANY MINUTE!!!"
Get a grip.

i think it looks stupid, the thing is around here it seems only the lower income classes have the ear piece on, i think its just so they can feel like they are important, maybe they are all waiting for the prez to contact them about the iran situation?

A clue about self importance. Some of these including mine have an instruction that says something like... " A flashing blue light to let people know you are on an important call" Or you can turn it off if you don't want to look like a buffoon, or something to that effect.
The light on mine flashes something like every 10 seconds or so even if you are not on the phone.

The thing I notice with some people who have them is you can't really tell who they are talking to. You could be having a face to face conversation with a guy wearing one, then he'll answer his phone, and have 2 conversations at the same time. No consideration to either party, ie "I'll call you back" or "I'll talk to you later" for the face to face.
As for me, I don't have a bluetooth. My phone isn't configured for it. But I have a plug in hands free for when I'm driving. Low profile too. Can hardly see it.

Yeah i remember the first time i saw one. My buddy had one and was using it, at the time i didnt know they were around. I just saw my friend pacing back and forth, talking in spanish. I thought he was losing it. Turns out he was just talking to his cuban friends with an ear piece.

There's a really funny beer comercial where some dorky guy thinks a hot chick is hitting on him at the store. She's actually talking to someone on her bluetooth. He gets embarassed, she apologizes (to the guy on her phone).
First time I saw one was when this Indian woman, the kind with the dot, came walking into a store screaming like a maniac. I thought she was literally an insane person. It turned out she was just an idiot.
