Use Bluetooth headset in public

Love my bluetooth headset in car, office and home. But in public you look like dork using bluetooth headset:bash:

My phone isn't capable.... so I have a cord and that sucks worse!! :damn:

In a public bathroom stall, a man is chatting away. I assumed he was on a cell phone. He walks out, while washing up, he starts to chat more. I thought he was talking to me and replied.:bonk: I love my Blue Tooth but don't use it in public. It gets confusing.:crazy:

I use mine in public all the time, and I get the craziest looks from people.. But once you have one, you can't live with out it!!!

I use mine in public all the time, and I get the craziest looks from people.. But once you have one, you can't live with out it!!! I imagine that is probably true... but with out the ability of using one on my phone I guess I'll have to wait.

Yeah, I think it looks quite stupid to be walking around in public with the headset on. I think it's a great idea in the car as the wired kind always gets in the way. But I don't think you'll catch me walking around in public with a headset on.

I thought he was talking to me and replied.:bonk: I love my Blue Tooth but don't use it in public. It gets confusing.:crazy: Yeah, I've done that as well. I've ran into people I know that are chatting away and I think he's/she's talking to me. I feel like a F'n idiot repsonding back only to relise they are one their phone. So now, I'm like FU, if you talking to me then ackowledge me, bitches........

I hate people who walk around with those things on their heads... like "I'm so important, I may need to take a call at any moment" Although, when I want to screw around, I'll put my non-bluetooth handsfree in my ear, and just start bitching people out to their face, and be like "ohh... sorry, I'm on the phone"... but there really isn't even a phone in my pocket :D

yeah, you totally look like a douche if you wear your bluetooth in public. I don't really use mine anymore because of that reason.

It does look wierd...but a douche bag... :skep:

i was on mine today and had to stop at a store while I was on a business call, this poor guy kept looking at me (i didnt notice) and finally he told me he thought i was talking to myself, i have one of the tiny ones that actually curls around your ear, so its not as noticeable, he was going to move to another aisle cuz he thought i was a nut!!! :lol: being a woman I am always multi tasking, my blue tooth is a god send!! but i guess that makes me a "douche", eh Vol??!!:wink:

I know one thing, I left my phone at home accidentally when I went up to the gap this weekend, even though there is little to no signal strength up there, it made the weekend better not having to worry about checking voicemail, text messages, and all the other crap that comes with technology (it also seriously pissed off my girlfriend who worried about me all weekend if I was dead or not, yeah I am in a lot of trouble for that one.) I still miss those days of not having to worry about anything other than whats going on around you when you were a kid.

I still miss those days of not having to worry about anything other than whats going on around you when you were a kid. i know, sometimes it is a relief to not have it, then other times i feel like i left my right arm at home...but with being so busy with my own business and my partners calling me, jlb being out of town, and having a semi-social life sometimes i need it just so i know where I am!!!

I use mine in public and don't care. Everyone thinks I'm a little "off" anyway. I aughta try just putting my hand up to my face in that "phone symbol" and talk into my thumb. Gonna try that tomorrow and see how it works.

People should really take notice of you then.:crazy: :withstupi and I want a vid of it all.

I couldn't use my bluetooth earset the entire time I was at the Gap over the weekend because there is no signal, but ya know what...I was on vacation, and I enjoyed not talking to anyone on the phone, and worring about checking voicemail!!! Although I sure did use the bluetooth a hell ofa lot on the 10 hour drive home though. :lol:

:cry: I dont own a video camera!!!!!!!!!

:cry: I dont own a video camera!!!!!!!!! Too bad!:disapp: It would have been entertaining.:lol:

your phone probably has a cam on it that can take movies if it does bluetooth.

your phone probably has a cam on it that can take movies if it does bluetooth. :withstupi

your phone probably has a cam on it that can take movies if it does bluetooth. :iagree: 30 second clips might not be enough tho.

:iagree: 30 second clips might not be enough tho. if the phone uses a flash card like mine does it can take longer than 30 seconds, however if I record directly to the phone memory 30 seconds is all I get.

My phone doesn't do movies. It doesn't have a camera. It's a BlackBerry. Does everything else but that. :cry: Gota go stretch my hand for the "performance." I don't need to be gettin a cramp while my pinky finger's in my ear. You know? :lol:

yeah, the whole headset wearing in public looks :gary: . nobody is that important! i also despise those damned intercom phones! like i want to hear all of your conversation. puhleez!! PS no offense to the TWF'ers that wear the bluetooth in public. you all know you are cool. :dthumb:

PS no offense to the TWF'ers that wear the bluetooth in public. you all know you are cool. :dthumb: ya know, I used to hate the intercom phone thing too till i started working in an office environment and I stay really really busy (most of the time) so with my speaker i can sit on hold while still typing my emails (preferred form of communication!) and typing docs, etc etc...but i normally pick up once the other person does cuz it just feels wrong...:lol:

I only use mine when I'm driving or working with both hands. The other day I forgot that I had it on (I wasn't using it at the time) and walked into a store, about 10 min later I noticed some girl smirking at me and realized that I had forgotten it on my ear. I was so embarrased and felt like a tool the rest of the day since I've seen people just wearing them as "accessories" to their wardrobe...I wanted to go back tell the girl (and anyone else) that saw me with it on "I swear I'm really not that guy!"

:scratch: people wear them just as accessories?? then doesnt that make them "tools" and not those of us that actually use the darn things?? :lol:

I have blue tooth too and I like messing with people... I'll walk around talking to KP then if I see someone staring I look right at them and ask them " what kinda underwear you wearing? You got them thongs on that I like soo much? " LMFAO! well they stop looking then. Once I was walking out and I called KP and was like hey, how are you? this guy walking in stopped and said fine and yourself LOL he thought I was trying to talk to him.

:scratch: people wear them just as accessories?? then doesnt that make them "tools" and not those of us that actually use the darn things?? :lol: Yes, but the thing was I wasn't actually using it at the time so I felt like a tool, I just forgot to take it off when I got out of the car. I try to only have it on when I'm using it and that is rarely in public!

Usually when we get really annoyed we start an office wide intercom party to make fun of him. I will call up the guy in my cube, and then everyone else will hear and call to join the telecon. We will have like 10 people all within 30 feet of each other all on the same telecon. He usually gets the hint and picks up his phone so we don't have to hear his BS.

hey i am a busy lady what can i say!!??? :lol: but i did mention that once the person picks up i pick up my handset so they arent on intercom, i also keep it very low so no one else in the office can hear my phone with the elevator music...as for the bluetooth thing, i will work on it, hows that?? :wink:
