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."

It's the law here. But it's more of a just in case. I normally do NOT phone out when driving, unless I pull over, and I keep any received calls short. 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!

It is very UNSAFE! You can't hear the car that you cut in front of because you have a conversation in your ear. If you really have to take a phone call on the road, pull the &$%# over! The call can wait. Those who use bluetooths while driving should be on that list, because they are STILL driving while distracted. It is very UNSAFE!

It's SAFE. I drive 80 miles a day on the NJ garden state parkway and see dozens of a-holes weekly NOT using handsfree devices weaving wildly like drunken sailors. 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.

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! I agree with Passive-Aggressive Emoticon User :)
