Why?

Because people wear them like fashion accessories. It appears to only be common among certain demographics.

i had one for a while. used it while driving, since i had a manual transmission.it did make it easier, but i still prefer to pull over and talk regardless. i also left it in my truck, charger and all. i was working with one of my customer's "security experts" a few weeks ago, and every call he made was sitting next to me with crackberry in hand and on bluetooth. he really was a bluetool. i like that one, hehe. bluetool. i see people all over wearing these, regardless of their apparent social status. i always talk to people when they are next to me and using one, it makes for giggles on my part when they try to silently explain that they arent talking to me.

You do realize if they are talking on them, they are defining they have friends/business.

Your 'apparent social' comment goes out the window.

I don't know many that wear them because it's just 'cool'.

If you work in a subway though and have two friends chances are you probably don't need more than a cell phone.

Fixed.

Trust me, nobody here doubts for even a moment that YOU fit the classic douchbag demographic.

Hmmmmmm, possible new net meme? an alky?

Yeah . . . I think I'll start referring to those penoir pointed, '70's disco look, Eastern European fashion sense disasters and the desperately self-important tools who strap them on for show alkys.

As in, "Look the alky on THAT alky, bwahahahahahahahahaha."

Not to say there are tons of folks who don't make great, everyday, non-demonstative use of them.

Just letting you know that almost no one here is buying that you're one of them. 😉

I was at a parade Monday and several of the peeps in the marching band were wearing them. I'd feel like a tool wearing one all the time. Of course I'm a tool anyhow, but thats another story.
 
I quit caring what people do a long time ago. As long as they aren't imposing themselves on me, I happily ignore most everthing going on in the world. It's much more pleasant that way.

Same here in WA. I'm ashamed of people who wear BT headsets to obey the law and make driving safer. What the hell is wrong with them?
 
Ahhhh......Bluetooth headsets. Letting crazy people talk to themselves out loud without being found out since 1999.
 
Yeah, I don't get why people wear them when NOT using it. When I use it, I wear it. When the call ends, I put the headset in my pocket. When I get a call, I take it out of my pocket and put it on.

Never seen a sci-fi movie? We're living in the future! EVERYONE wears little pieces of electronics as fashion accessories.

Get with the times!11!1
 
I remember ten years ago when cell phones started getting a lot smaller that some people would walk around with the antenna sticking out and would use it as a pointer.
"Hey, look at me. I got a cell phone!"

My peeve is with bt users who carry on loud one-way conversations and then look at you like you're eavesdropping.

Not quite. My first bluetooth enabled phone was a Sony Ericcson T68i back in 2002, and I've never had a bluetool headset.
 
Back when I worked at Game Stop I was setting up a GameInformer subscription for a guy that decided his conversation with his friend was much too important to set aside for one moment while I got his info, so it took twice as long as it should have.

And then this happened:

Me: ?Ok, so your address is Bla bla bla. Is that correct??

Him: ?Yes. No.?

Me: ?... I?m sorry, did you say the address was correct??

Him: ?No. Yes.?

So I sent the magazine to some random address and told the man he should get his first issue in a month or so.

I didn't care if they were in the store talking to themselfs, but I did when they walked up to the counter and thought that I wanted to be part of the conversation.
 
I have a BT earpiece. For my Nokia N800.

No, I do not wear it as a fashion accessory. Usage is limited to Skype.

Gosh no. Revealing several inches of your underwear to the general public is a SURE sign of intelligence and breeding. I'm surprised Fortune 500 companies don't sign these kids up right off of the streets.

 
I work at cvs and most of the times i wont even talk to the person, this guy threw a pen at me b\c i interrupted his conversation
 
Mine lives in my car. That's really the only place it gets used. I tried using it for voicechat in BF2 once and I was kinda pissed that I couldn't hear the game through my left ear; I'd gotten so used to playing it in 5.1 that I was missing anything that was happening behind me (explosions) or to my left (gunshots, whatever).
