Do NOT Wear Bluetooth Headsets!

Bluetooth headsets, worn by the elderly and the businessmen on the go, are supposed to be a convenient way of talking on the phone without actually having to do anything on the phone itself. But instead of being an innovation in the cell phone industry, they are just an annoying piece of technology that has no place in today’s society.


The headsets were originally made to be used in cars to make sure drivers keep their eyes on the road while driving. This is actually a bad thing because it encourages people to use their phones in the car, increasing their chances of getting in an accident. You can still be distracted from the road by an emotional conversation or shocking news given over the phone.

After being around for a few years, they have adapted to be used at socially inappropriate times. Examples of these inappropriate times are, standing in the line at the grocery store, ordering food at a restaurant and talking to somebody while talking on a Bluetooth at the same time. It is impossible to have a conversation with someone wearing a Bluetooth headset, and trying to do so makes the person without the headset look like a complete idiot and makes the Bluetooth headset user look like a rude and inconsiderate person. While talking on a Bluetooth headset, a person’s voice is amplified by a tenfold, interrupting all of the conversations and activities that may be happening around the headset user. A normal conversation over the phone is transformed into a yelling contest over the noise of a Boeing 747.

Not to mention wearing a Bluetooth headset makes the user look like a complete idiot. Contrary to the popular belief, walking around with a weird device jutting out of your ear does not look cool. People need to understand that using a Bluetooth doesn’t make you cool or technological; it just turns you into an obnoxious person who everybody wishes would get off of the phone, indefinitely. A word of advice for anyone who wants to be successful and get far in life is this, DO NOT WEAR BLUETOOTH HEADSETS!
