Never seen that, but I'm tired of all the yuppy jerkoffs with their bluetooth wireless headset in at all times with the bright ass blue LED light in it. You're so important to need to wear that through dinner!

Bwhahahahaahahaha

That's funny fscking sh!t. I haven't seen that yet, but I'd have to do a doubletake, go "WTF?" and then laugh for a good 10 minutes if I did.

That picture is from an actual ebay auction from a long time ago. The guy was selling 'phone holders' that was basically a small clear baggie with 5 rubberbands.
I remember them going for like 19cents or something.

Yeah, those look dumb too. People with those things remind me of that guy that used to hang around Lando Calrissian in The Empire Strikes Back movie.

It's like saying "I bought my cellphone at Target because my credit won't let me get one from Verizon, and now I can't afford a headset for it."

I have never seen anyone do that in my life.

Lol, that is very ghetto. I would burst out laughing and get shot most likely if I ever saw the real thing.

Oh god, I'm glad I've not had the priviledge of seeing that. I'm annoyed by the number of people who apparently had their bluetooth earpiece surgically implanted because they can't go anywhere or do anything without them.
