Public Service Announcement: Don't be like Mister Bluetooth

[brendala]

If any of you guys use Bluetooth headsets, for the love of God PLEASE don't just wander around in public talking into thin air like an idiot. When you do, stuff like this happens...



...Mister Bluetooth still has no idea how close he came to getting punched in the crotch that day. Don't be like Mister Bluetooth. When walking into a place of business, don't expect the clerks to magically know that you're on the phone and not a dangerous schizophrenic and/or pervert.

Remember, only you can prevent getting punched in the crotch by an offended wage slave.

The icon says everything.

I had a similar situation back when I used to commute on the ferry! I was seated near a man who suddenly blurted out what seemed to be random words as he gestured erratically. I was actually getting ready to bail out of my seat thinking he was schizophrenic or something, but then at the last moment I saw the dreaded earpiece. He'd been talking on the phone!

I do wonder if people realize how insane they look talking to what the rest of us cannot see or hear. Your run in with this though... Wow, the guy really is fortunate you didn't punch him in the crotch!

I HATE those things! One time, when I was working in the dollar store, a costumer came up talking into his headset, but of course I didn't see it. So, I didn't get why the heck he was talking to me like he knew me.

Swear to God, the Mister Bluetooth incident played out pretty much exactly like the comic! The guy kept saying stuff along the lines of "Hey baby, let's go back to my place" and I was just about to let him have it when I noticed the headset. And he was so into his conversation that he didn't even notice that I was giving him the death glare when I left him at his table!

Sooner or later, Mister Bluetooth is bound to get punched in the crotch, maced, and/or slapped when he passes the wrong woman while using his phone. I just wish I could be there when it happens. LOL

My whole life, I knew to avoid people who were walking down the street, talking or mumbling to themselves and making wild hand gestures.

This totally screws up my survival skills.

Sheesh, talk about thoughtless. The guy has no idea how lucky he is. XP (What's the point of even using Bluetooth when both of your hands are free in the first place? That's really quite inconsiderate to others.)
