Please wait, while I take this call.



Honestly, is this really necessary? I don't get the need to have remote access to your cellphone or blackberry at all times. It really disturbs me when someone is talking on their bluetooth and I think that they are talking to me. There is nothing more embarassing than saying "I'm sorry, can you repeat that" and then they point to their ear. As if to say, can't you see that I am on the phone. Well, no, I can't. But now that I see the blinking light coming from your head I guess I should have known.

There is really only one time that the bluetooth should be used, and that is in the privacy of your own car or home.

Here is a list of the most inappropriate times that one should not use a bluetooth.

1. In the airport, this is the worst. I really don't want to hear your conversation as you pace back and forth discussing your investment portfolio. We all know that you are important, no need to flaunt it.
2. In the grocery store, especially when you have your children with you, please pay attention to THEM.
3. At work, especially when it is a personal call.
4. On a date, like this DB in the picture. Seriously, if you can't give someone your attention without being connected to the rest of the world, you shouldn't be dating.
5. In the Bathroom. Yes, I have witnessed this on several occasions. No one wants to hear your conversation and I'm sure that the person on the other line doesn't want to hear you use the bathroom.

I want to go back to the good old days when people actually had a conversation with other people, in person. A girl can only dream.......

Tricia, I don't have much of an opinion on the blue tooth thing, but I have witnessed on multiple occasions at work, someone talking on their cell while in the stall!
And it never sounds like it's anything important. I vote that all chit-chatting in the bathroom should be banned!
