Things we don’t get: Bluetooth
Okay, we know that Bluetooth is awesome, because you can beam your information to people within a short range, yadda yadda. You know what is really freaking annoying? When some guy in a suit has his earpiece on and is gesticulating wildly with both arms walking down the street and talking so loudly about hedge funds you can't even hear your own iPod when it's already at gonna-make-you-deaf volumes. Or when you're in the supermarket and the woman next to you says something and you think she's talking to you so you answer, but realize she's talking to one of her three kids. Except she's not doing that either-she's using Bluetooth.
Do you know how many times I think someone is talking to me or talking to THEMSELVES like a crazy person when they're actually on a phone call? Hey, here's an idea, it's called a cell phone. You listen to one end and talk into another. When you're done to can fold it up and put it away. Yes, you regrettably need to hold it in one hand, but maybe you can risk a sore neck and balance it on your shoulder with your ear while you do one of your 572 tasks while walking down the street that typically requires you to chat hands-free.
Leave it to good old Larry David to express how I feel via a scene from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" a lot better than I can articulate. Watch, enjoy, and go take your Bluetooths to a plastics recycling facility. Thanks.
