Fun phone one

I keep mine in as it's also a stereo speaker for my phone's mp3 player.

Yes, my phone has gadgets :P

I take comfort that these folk look like mental patients, walking around talking to themselves (bonus if they gesticulate).

At the rate it's going, I figure in a few years the earpieces will be completely unnoticeable and thus the users will be indistinguishable from schizophrenics.

People will probably eventually get a tiny subcutaneous implant to serve as their phone and music collection. Hell, we'll likely also be watching movies and surfing the web in our heads rather than just listening to voices. Someday we'll all be zombie-like schizos chattering loudly as we wander around oblivious to the outside world.

My MIL is a family law attorney (translation: divorce lawyer), so her Bluetooth is glued into her ear all day long. It bugs, but it's easier for her to calm someone down than to put out a fire later.

It seems that the people who spend the most time talking on their cell phones have the least to say. Seriously, it's like if you have a life, you don't have time to chat.

A year and a half ago I was in Chania, Crete, sitting at an outdoor cafe and talking to my girlfriend... through the bluetooth device in the ear away from public view. Apparently, not too many of the populace knew about them, judging from the alarmed/ worried looks I got.

I want a fake one just so I can wander around talking to myself and everyone will be none the wiser.

use of headsets. Changing spouses

There was a trading spouse episode where the guy always talked on the blue tooth headset. Even over dinner

I personally hate headsets because most of the time they just do not work right.

Cuddos for the user cutting off a conversation of Excuse me I do not want to discuss this right now and I am actually telling the truth. I have at times just gotten so mad I hang up on family and my mom seems to get used to it.
