Finally! A technology authority censures silly-looking bluetooth headsets
From the latest issue of Wired:
Let’s be clear: Walking around with a Bluetooth device in your ear is pure douchebaggery. There is no excuse for it… If you’re out among normals, flaunting your tech doesn’t make you look like the King of Coolsville, it makes you look like Count Clueless of Dorkylvania.
That’s what I said.

Haha! Where’d you get the graphic for this? It’s great. 🙂
The graphic is from Wired, as is the caption (which isn’t on the linked-to image but on the cover of the magazine itself)
Couldn’t. Agree. More.
So I am one of the few people that can pull it off? I cant imagine getting laid more than I already do and by women that are any more beautiful. How does one know they aren’t pulling off the look of using one? No one I have ever talked to has said a peep about it not looking good or right.
Wolf – We’re all impressed by how much hot tail you get! We all want to be like you! A douchebag who wears and headset AND brags about getting laid!
Ah, the post is three years old and still relevant and funny. My favorite anecdote was my own, when standing at a urinal doing my business when one of THOSE guys (you know the type) comes in takes up position in the urinal next to mine. I keep my eyes straightforward as protocol dictates when my new neighbor asks a strange question in some off the wall context and catches me by surprise. My knee jerk response was to answer “What? Sorry?”, to which he shoots me quick dirty look and takes his hand which has just been handling his junk and shoots a finger point to his opposite ear. Ah… D-bag is having a little chitty chat via his cool-tooth techno hipster toy. His look of annoyance is the best part, in his world, this of course, is how all the Elroy Jetsons do business… Me? Well, what f’ing world do I live in where I would just ASSUME that when my urinal neighbor asks a question that I just ignore it and finish my piss, ignoring what HAS to be the most important conversation that it couldn’t wait the 2 minutes it takes to answers natures call? Plus, who else loves to play that game where we can listen in on a one sided conversation and guess what the conversation is about? Gosh I know I do, especially when pissing. How many times have I wished I could be so full of Summer’s Eve coolness that I boldly take my important conversation with me right to the pisser in a public bathroom. Such brass!
Ugh…
[…] only question that remains: If Brad Pitt is unable to wear a Bluetooth headset — let alone ridiculous-looking smart glasses — what hope is there for the rest of […]
Kudos my good sir, Kudos!!!
