6. LOL! me too.
Last year when I was shopping for a used car, I went to go see one where the guy selling had one permanently in his ear. He had it when we arrived, had it all through the test drive and inspection. I knew by then that I was not interested in buying his car.

Do I really want to buy from a guy who is so rude he is willing to take a phone call while I'm there to possibly drop thousands on his car?

Phooey on that!

8. I agree...and use one.
When I'm wearing it, I always think "You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile".

On the more serious side, it DOES make it a lot easier to drive while talking...and i don't have to deal with holding the phone to my ear on long calls at home.

2. I call them:
Somebody who can walk and talk at the same time. I love my bluetooth headset.

Unfortunately even hands-free users make lousy drivers.

10. Ain't Bluetooth great?
I love my headset too. Looks a little funny, but it's so much better than holding a phone to your ear.

3. Crazy-looking
I always think they're nuts and try to give them a wide berth, as they appear to be chattering to themselves.

9. Smart
I can't stand to hold a phone to my ear for any length of time. I even have a cordless headset at my office.

B-)

13. Annoyingly Self-Important Twits
See lots of it at the airports. No special skills or talents compensated for by artificial dedication, dressed in self-importance.

Is it clear i really don't like them?
