So, I was driving into work this morning and I saw 17 people with these bluetooth sets, 7 of which were passengers (can they not hold a phone) and 1 of which uses this at work all day.

Are these things cool or gay?

Hmmm, probably gay. I've heard many stories about bluetooth headsets having relations with other bluetooth headsets.

wait, are you saying there's a correlation between homosexuality and bluetooth headsets, or are you being a narrow-minded jackass?

Nothing looks stupider or more retarded IMO.
I can not stand them.

I also CAN NOT stand when people talk into their phone like its a walkie-talkie.
Raising it to their ear to listen then lowering it to their mouth to talk... up and back... ugh WTF

Ummm I think he's using the term "gay" here as in "stupid looking and dumb" not "are they for gay people only"... you know like a right ear piercing.

I use one simply so I'm not a nuisance in class. My grandparents aren't doing so well and so I have to keep the phone on for them. I can't always feel the vibrations from my phone, so I use the headset. I also use it to talk to them safely while I drive. I never like driving with one hand.

I have 1 that someone won somewhere and gave to me. I probably would have gotten 1 eventually either way for 2 reasons.

1. I hate trying to use the phone while driving stick shift, so the headset would make it doable so I don't just tell people I'll call em back when I'm out of traffic.
2. The PS3 uses bluetooth headsets as their standard voice communicator online.

But now I don't have to go and buy one.

And any other usage other than those 2 I just mentioned are gay. Hell I was at the gym last night, and I saw some guy on the hammer strength bench press maching with that dumb crap in his ear, blinking blue, while he was benching.

Haha funny this should come up. A couple years back I went to the ALDS between the Yankees and Twins in the Bronx. There was this obnoxious douchebag sitting in front of me and my friend who was talking all night long to his buddy next to him, being a real asshole- really annoying. I'll call him Herschel (since I think that's what his buddy called him). My friend and I were 4 rows back from the Yankee dugout and this dickhead Herschel is bragging about how he spent 3 grand on his tickets and how he's the man and all this crap. Meanwhile I'm laughing with my friend because we got our tickets for free from some dude my dad knows. Anyway...

This guy about 2 rows in front of us is standing up and blocking Herschel's precious view. Herschel starts talking all this shit about the guy, making fun of him. The guy looked slightly effeminate, was wearing a white linen suit with neon blue shirt and wicker shoes, AND... a bluetooth headset. Herschel apparently had enough of this guy blocking his view, and suddenly screams out "Sit the fuck down, you bluetooth homo!" At which point me and my friend lose it.

So now whenever we see a guy walking around with a bluetooth headset, we always laugh our asses off thinking of good ol' Herschel. Personally, bluetooth headsets dont bother me. I used to have one with my Treo but since I got my iPhone I dont use one anymore.

Actually using one while you're in the middle of a conversation....not gay. Wearing it all the time...gay.
