How exactly does one “wear a bluetooth” or take it off when “attending a religious services”.
Did they get Taylor Swift to write the voiceover text or something?
Most important point:
Never use a Bluetooth (or any cell phone) while on a bus or any form of public transit. If you can’t afford to drive, then you can’t afford a phone – and none of your phone conversations are important.
No matter what, you’ll still look like a dork. Especially bald head guys with blue tooth.
Wearing a Bluetooth what? There’s all kinds of “bluetooth” that can be worn, some with a little help from rubber bands or bungie cords.
#2: Yeah, because the only reason anyone takes transit is because they can’t afford a car. Congestion, possibly lower travel times, and the chance to make better use of time have nothing to do with it.
That said, a person shouldn’t have to talk louder on the phone than they would if they were having that same conversation with the person next to them.
If you are using a bluetooth headset in public you are either a dork or a douche. That is a personality flaw not a technical problem.
We worked with a real estate agent once that had a Bluetooth in her ear all the time. She was a good agent, but she would talk to other customers and agents when she was driving from house to house, which was distracting. The blue light in her ear made an otherwise very pretty woman look like a droid from Star Wars…
One more tip…don’t refer to a Bluetooth headset as “A Bluetooth”.
Should be required viewing before being allowed to purchase a Bluetooth headset.
I don’t use my bluetooth to talk on the phone. I hate the blue light. I just use it to talk to myself. People don’t give me strange looks. Well they do, but they stop when they realize I am wearing a bluetooth.
#8 Yes I realize Bluetooth is just the technology. I use Bluetooth printers at work.
There is just something about these earpieces that screams DOUCHEBAG.
In the 80’s if a movie or TV show wanted to communicate that a character was a douche, they would put them in a Polo shirt with a popped collar. Now, they stick a bluetooth headset in their ear.
An ’80’s douche would be lugging around a huge banana-shaped chunk of metal and plastic (Dynatak) and teling everyone how transportable their new cell phone is.
Use it only in the car, that’s how.

There are lots of Bluetooth headsets made by various brands so you still have to compare reviews especially if you find a few that are competitively priced and have the features that you need.
