People Who Deserve It is a theme blog dedicated to documenting the types of people who deserves a good punch in the face (I think they mean metaphorically or at least I hope they do!). To wit, this annoying character type, The Self-Important Bluetooth Guy:
Hey there buddy, I see you got one of those fancy cyborg ear attachments for your cell phone, you must be pretty important?
No?
Oh, of course you’re not, you’re not even on the phone right now, instead your just walking around with a blinking light in your ear like a metro-sexual robot.
Honestly, unless you’re police dispatch, or air traffic control, there is no way you’re getting enough calls to justify sporting that glorified techno-earring 24/7. So do us all a favor take that “thing” out of your ear and rejoin regular society.
Otherwise, it’s open season, and our fist-to-face connection is one call that always goes through. Can you hear us now?
I would love to add Person Who Interrupts Others Having Meaningful Conversations. As in, walking in and hearing one participant of a four minute long discussion say "He really said that?"
And then asking, "Who said what?"
Punch. Too many details you already missed out on, dude. Punch. Don't ask!
still what a wacky coincidence, favorite website has a post on punching people, someone got punched!
;)
Also, most employers have a no cell phone ringers on policy and at least with an earpiece, you can silently tell if someone is calling and discretely screen the call. Comparatively, vibro-ringers are USELESS as they either buzz loud enough to still be a disruption during a meeting or don't vibrate enough to always be felt if the phone gets bunched up in your pocket.
My bluetooth is used the most when I'm shopping or in a noisy situation and I know I won't be able to hear my phone ring.
However, the people with bluetooths who just talk and talk and talk about nothing drive me nuts. If someone is talking to me and I get a call, normally, I ignore the call. I can call whoever it was back. Not these jerkoffs. Their chat about what they had for dinner is SO important that they can't possibly hang up the call for one minute, long enough to pay at the store and get out of the way!
People using Bluetooth while walking: potentially annoying.
A friend's psychiatrist constantly wore his Bluetooth headset, even during counseling sessions. I could not believe this when my friend told me about it. He called the doc "Dr. Bluetooth." To me, the presence of the headset, even if the doc never took a call on it while he was listening to me, would imply that there was a call out there that was potentially more important than listening to me. Wouldn't exactly foster an environment of trust.
As for the website, I'd like to add "Person Who Simply Must Take Every Conference Call On Speakerphone, With Office Door Open."
