am i the only one who thinks this reeks of douchebaggery? i thought one guy was talking to himself like a douchebag one time at lunch, so i had to take a second look and realized he was being a douchebag and talking to someone else by using a hands free system.

you see, i think this is an evolution of the belt clip, a lesser form of douchebag progression. back in the day, snooty douches would display their newly acquired phones by using the belt. not only would i get a good laugh when said douche knocked their phone off, but also when it was so easily stolen.

today at sams, i saw one person who was so ugly (im not shitting you), that i couldnt tell if the douche was a dick or a dyke. the icing on the douchebag cake? cheesy plastic hands free system about the size of a wallet, hanging off their face. why? are you expecting a phone call from Douchebag High Command? This particular douche had little hair, probably to aid his neck muscles in supporting a fucking phone. why?

fast forward 20 mins, grocery store, old man in his mid 40's, with another typical douchebag blue ear piece. UGH. its spreading, fuck. Why? do you want to look like a fucking borg douche? duct tape a fucking laser pointer to your face while youre at it.

are your douchebag lives so god damned busy that you need both hands to do other things? fuck no, youre shopping. better yet, put down the fucking phone and talk to your douchebag friends in person.


UGH.

on another completely different note, does the kingdom hearts 2 ad make anyone else just want to punch the fucking television?

Despite the lack of apparent grammar I managed to trudge through this thread and I agree. It's the "America is a lazy fucking nation let's invent something else to make it easier to be a lazy puke" syndrome. On a sidenote, those earpieces are somewhat useful for people that tend to talk while driving.

You have no idea what an annoyance this is until you're in a customer service job and you have to deal with people coming up to you and saying completely nonsensical things. Then you're like "What?" and they look at you all annoyed-like. You get confused and walk off, when you realize they were talking on a cell phone. Then you have the pleasure of them coming up to you a minute later after they've gotten off the phone and THEN asking you a question.

the only time i really dislike it is when, they are talking or ask a question while they are looking at you and you assume they are talking to you so you start to talk then they just give you this really bad look like your insane or something. Like didnt you see my invisible friend and I are trying to have a conversation here?

Or a couple times that I flew home, I had really early flights like 5:30am and theres all these fucking business people with their blackberries and PDAs and everyone has their fucking bluetooth earpieces. Nobody is going to call you at 5:30 in the morning, stop flashing your fucking e-penis, nobody cares

OMG!!!!! I had a hard time not laughing when I read this thread, because I saw some douche at Big Louie's last night using a hands free cell. This was while he was sitting in front of the stage. If titties can't get you away from your phone, you are hopeless.

I have to agree, just not quite to the extent of Smith. I enjoyed his post though. I have to say, I hear this a lot anymore, about the lazy inventions, and it could be carried to almost every invention we know and love today. Those lazy fucking cotton farmers, they don't need a cotton gin. OR Those lazy bastards they don't need a mixer/blender. I agree about the hands free, but I often wonder if it will be one of those things were our kids kids wonder how we ever managed without them....

Disclaimer: I was just using the cotton gin and blender/mixer as an example, I don't really think they aren't needed...

They're good for driving.


Well, you shouldn't be talking and driving in the first place. If the conversation is more important than the safety of yourself, your car, and others on the road, then pull the fuck over and talk.

That is a good point. I still think that talking on a Headset would be as safe for ME as talking to a passenger, I have the bad habit of looking at who I talk to...
