What is the bluetooth thing on his head in that much-distributed photo of him in the car, and what about it implies that he's an asshole? [Link] |

| ninja1 Senior Member 2939 Posts 1/08 | Posted - May 9 2010 : 12:39PM Bluetooth is the name of the technology. While wearing it, the user can place and answer phone calls hands-free with no need to hold the actual cell phone to their ear. There is nothing unique about the bomber guy or his particular device; the "asshole" comment applies to all who wear the bluetooth headset 'all the time', instead of wearing it 'as needed'. For further explanation and insight, do a google search on "bluetooth assholes". THIS LINK gives a sense of the annoyance some people feel towards some users/wearers of bluetooth headsets. [Link] |

She's one of those people who can find 20 minutes to tell you how busy she is and how she can't spare a moment to talk. Then she digs through the mountain of stuff in her car and can't find whatever she's looking for because of all the other stuff she's 'busy' with. It's some kind of syndrome. [Link] |

What's really funny is that for decades, there have been elderly deaf people too vain to wear a hearing aid because it shows. So they stay hard of hearing. Now that it's 'trendy' to have devices hanging on your head, they advertise those snoop-amplify things that look like a bluetooth but are clearly for people with hearing loss. Amusing. [Link] |

| RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06 | Posted - May 12 2010 : 2:17AM Or am I wrong and it works way better than it looks like it would? By the way, this doesn't fit in too well with their characterization of him as "withdrawn" and "silent". I'm sort of a hermit. I'm what you'd call withdrawn. I don't have a bluetooth headset because I don't have any use for a cell phone. Edited by - randomprecision on 5/12/2010 2:19:38 AM [Link] |
