Oh yeah, there's definitely a time and a place. I have coworkers who use those bluetooth ear pieces. Leave them in ALL the time, so sometimes I don't know if they are talking to me or not! Nothing is that important... Keep the thing in your breast pocket and put it on when you get a call...

I agree. I hate those blue tooth things. It's a status symbol among the more ethnic members of the community here. Bling. They even sell fake bluetooth sets here.

P.S. Before I get ripped on I didn't mean that as a rip on any group it simply is here.

Around here it's like the gadget freak nerd types. 15 things attached to the belt, etc. Reminds me of college way too much...

Agreed, I'm always amazed at the people who think they need to YELL into their cell phones. With some of them you wonder why they don't just step outside, they're loud enough no phone is needed.  As long as I am fairly quiet (Conversational tone) and relatively brief, what's the beef? Usually I find out what they want and promise to call back within the hour.

I believe I just thought of a temporary cure for these loud talking cell phone idiots.
Get YOUR phone out and get right up next to them (and I mean right up next to them) and start blathering LOUDLY into your phone. Ignore them if they give you 'the look'. If they move away, move with them. Eventually, they will stop and ask "Do you mind?"
Respond "Not at all, do you?" and continue your 'conversation'
I am going to try this.
