Everyone seems to have to have their "bling" with them at all times or they cannot function. Who needs to wear a bluetooth in church, or at the movies?? 70-80% of cellphone calls are unnecessary at the time they are made. People talk about ANYTHING, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE and are totally oblivious of any other people around them that are subjected to hearing their gossiping blabber about usually, NOTHING! People get a clue! We don't care to hear about who you did, how you did them, who knows you did them, and if and when your going to do them again!!   ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 3:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</guid><description><![CDATA[Leela, I got a good chuckle from your response. I talk to myself too. Still would never wear one of those ugly things.  Where it when driving but take it off when exiting your car. PLEEEEEASE.

The first time I saw them on a trip, I really thought people were wandering around muttering to themselves.  After I noticed the odd thing on their ears, I decided they had been taken over by an alien race, a la Doctor Who.  Really, are they SO important that they can't even shop for a pair of shoes for (and with) their child to get off the thing for 30 minutes?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Lisa]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 3:17PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</guid><description><![CDATA[if thats your pitiful little world,so be it.

I was at a party, where someone was wearing one.  In the middle of a conversation, he whipped out the main part of the phone to see who was calling, then started talking to the caller and walked away.  And if you think they make you safer when driving, they don't.  It's not so much the holding of the phone that's distracting, it's holding a conversation when driving.  Studies have proven that. Ray, you're driving an 18-wheeler.  You should be DRIVING, not talking on a phone.    ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Marty]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 21st 2007 3:26PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.switched.com/2007/10/17/do-bluetooth-earphones-make-you-look-like-a-jerk/</guid><description><![CDATA[The "blue tools" for me are a safety tool when driving, as well as to keep in touch with the caregivers who take care of my parents who are 94 and 89 and quite ill.
