Oh, Bluetooth headset wearer . . . I have tried to ignore you and give you your space, despite the fact that you annoy me, but now you have taken it too far.
It wasn’t enough for you to walk through the airport or grocery store talking to yourself, or making me wonder if you are talking to me.
Now, you have taken it to a whole new level. I like to call it “Bluetooth at the Gym.” Apparently, I can no longer run on my treadmill or lift weights without wondering if you are talking to me or hearing about what you did last night. Once I figure out that you are not talking to me, I wonder who you are talking to and what could possibly be so important. I’ll tell you what is “so important” – nothing you are talking about!
I know some important people with important jobs and important clients who somehow (gasp!) can get in a workout or a grocery store trip without wearing one of those stupid headsets. Have you ever noticed that the busy people with demanding jobs that you know not wearing one of these headsets? I think that is a clue you would have noticed had you not been so busy talking on your bluetooth headset.
Now, I will admit that I am addicted to my Blackberry. I recall one instance during a vacation in Chicago when David (deceptively, I might add) asked to use my phone and then promptly put it in his pocket so that I could no longer check my e-mail. However, I leave my phone in my locker at the gym and in my purse at the grocery store. You know what? The world still keeps turning … it is amazing.
Now, please, I beg of you, step away from Bluetooth headset . . . I’ve given you the mall, the grocery store, even the airport, so at least let me have the gym.

OH, I AM SOOOO WITH YOU ON THAT. Whether it's a bluetooth or just plain talking on a dang cell phone, I am so tempted to yank it from the person's hands and chunk it under a treadmill.
ReplyDeleteRidiculous. I just have resorted to giving dirty looks, instead. :-)
AMEN! Most common scenario when seeing someone with a bluetooth on: middle-aged man, at the grocery store, in the middle of the week, wearing sweatpants. REALLY? What could possible be so important? You look like you're just taking a break from your 12 hour World of Warcraft marathon...ugh. Sorry, just had to get that off my chest! Also, I'm really sick of seeing people on their cell phones and/or texting during cycling class at the gym...it's 60 minutes, the world will not end if you don't answer your phone!!!!
