I think of Bluetooth headsets as merely the first of our Borg implants. “Resistance is futile. You _will_ be assimilated.”

Really, though I work for lawyers, and it is impossible to tell sometimes when I walk into their office with a question, whether they are listening to another person on a phone conversation or free and have simply left their headset on.

So when I first came up to Gainesville for college they took you through all these safety courses – campus safety, drug & alcohol safety (that worked really well, btw), etc. I remember one of the counselors telling all the incoming freshman girls in a breakout session “Here’s a great tip – if someone’s following you just start screaming at yourself or talking really loudly like you’re having an argument with someone. Inevitably they think YOU’RE a looney and leave you alone.”

That worked well then.

Now since everyone has these bluetooth doojobbers EVERYONE walks around talking loudly, arguing with an invisible person or just acting random. It takes away the last resort we were all taught.

I guess now if someone is following me or tries to rape me I’ll just have to shoot them in their junk.

I’ve never had one of these. I used to be kind of curious but the nerd in me has lately been hidden. I’m a little shy to admit I’m a nerd and the headset would be way to obvious.
