the nextel phones are far worse that BT. I hate some moron who with his self imposed importance holds a enitre conversation over the Nextel two-way radio. not only do we have to listen to both sides of the convo, but we also get the added CHIRP between each transmission. I have been a pubic hair away a few times from saying something to those morons.

Wouldn't you have to radio them first?

Why?

b/c we would much rather see people talking directly into their cellphones while driving...it seems much safer...😕

In your car fine. Anywhere else? Hell no. You look like an idiot and it's just annoying as hell.

The other thing I hate is people talking into/listening on their cell phones like it is a walkie talky. I don't get that.

Overall I think people just use their phones too damn freaking much though so I will admit I'm horribly biased.

TBH, I was wondering the other day what happened to those. I don't think I've seen/heard that in like 2-3 years, at least.

there are only two situations where wearing one is acceptable: in your car by yourself and in your office by yourself. there are two exceptions: if you're doing if for teh lulz (jim using his headset to answer dwight's phone), or if you're a douchebag.

:thumbsup:

I only use mine when I'm driving like a madman and can't use my phone by itself. The other time is when I'm cleaing around my garage or washing my car and someone insists on talking to me. I make sure I open a lot of beer cans while doing this and burp frequently. :beer:

Thank you!

Why is this so hard to understand for all the douchebags breaking these rules.
 
And honestly, if you are going to use one to listen to your iwhatever over bt, just buy some real wireless headphones

Oh ya, that's what the OP stated in his well thought and well written rant, that it is ok in cars...just not elsewhere...

i try not to get that close to people i don't want to be that close to.
 
People who have to constantly multitask and actually use the BT headset quite often, that's acceptable

But if its just hanging there doing nothing, like it's some kind of fashion accessory, please stop
 
With my job I'm either driving, packing something into an account, or elbow-deep in a customer's instrument, so I basically use my Jawbone all day long.

I guess its "douchebaggy" to have a job that keeps your hands occupied all day. 😕

But YOU do NONE of these things in a Starbucks, a Best Buy parking lot, or a public sidewalk, see? Douchebaggery not found.
