Default Bluetooth and other handsfree device users

This is why you shouldn't use them

That's funny!
I refuse to wear my Bluetooth headset outside of my car. I'm not a cyborg.

I really hate those people I can't ever tell if they're crazy and are talking to themselves!

That reminds me of something that happened last summer. I drove my 73 yr old mom to the airport so she could fly down south to visit my brothers. When she got home, she told me about seeing a lady in the airport. Mom said, "It was so strange. She was maybe 30 yrs old, dressed in a business suit, and she was talking to herself! She was making hand jestures and all, but she wasn't holding a phone and nobody was around her!" Mom thought she was crazy.

Yeah, but when you're driving a stick-shift , it sure makes things easier. It's downright dangerous to be holding a phone while trying to steer and shift. The one I have works very well.

My xB is a auto, but my previous car was a stick shift honda civic, and I had no problem shifting, while talking on the phone. It just takes a little concentration/hand eye coordination.

Well of course. I can do it too...but it's not safe. It's no big deal on a straight-away or highway. But if you're driving through a neighborhood where you're shifting and steering a lot, it's tricky. BT just makes sense for that.

Bluetooth headset = greatest invention ever. Especially while driving.

BUT it's not an effing fashion accessory. When I see people wearing them just for the sake of wearing them (in the movie theater, in stores, in restaurants) I just want to slap the hell out of them...if you do that, you look like a total idiot.

Thank you I hate when people just wear them, actually I hate when people where them outside of their car how hard is it to just pick up the phone. I know that it might burn too many calories but damn it's not like your jogging or anything
