Its been well documented how annoying it is when people walk around with that bluetooth jump off in their ear. You can't tell if people are crazy, talking to you or yelling at you...plus everyone looks like some self important Star Trek asshole. Maybe a handful of people actually have jobs and need those things [like outsourced IT people in Bangladesh]. Whatever.. Well, my Dad has been asking me questions about those ear pieces for awhile now, and yesterday I came back from dinner to see my dad chilling on the couch with his attempt at this "new" technology. Dude had one of those extra old school headsets on. This joint was not bluetooth. It had no teeth. It was large and plastic and had a wrap around mouth piece with a huge foam thing over the microphone. There was a huge cable that attached to what looked like a battery pack and then back into the phone, I think it even had a chin strap.......He looked ridiculous. First off my dad doesn't work, has like 4 friends, and is not a Queens taxi cab dispatcher - so my man has absolutely no need for this thing. Maybe it allows him to drink a beer, read The Times, and eat potato chips at the same time without ever having to pick up the phone to talk...i don't know. Secondly, dude is just walking around the crib with at least 10 pounds of phone equipment strapped to him like he works for AT&T. Watching your parents become senile is a scary thing.
