Never removing Bluetooth headsets
It makes sense to wear your Bluetooth headset in your ear while you're driving or working with your hands. Leaving it in while you're at a meal, gathering, or, as one of our staffers witnessed, a funeral, makes you look like a self-important, inconsiderate jerk. If you're expecting a call important enough to interrupt one of these events, just subtly slip the device in your ear precisely when you need to answer the call. On second thought, just leave it on; it's easier for us to avoid you.

I would like to see stores & resturants install cell phone blockers. I hate to have to listen too their loud conversations, and in my area usually in some non English language. Someone in line behind me at a store talking loudly on the phone in some language I do not understand makes my blood boil.

Wow, Bob, you're insecure. Don't worry, the person speaking a "non English" language isn't talking about you. You're far too insignificant.

You know, maybe the article's writer is being too harsh. What if the person doesn't know that leaving the headset on is "offensive" to other people? As long as the person is not talking too loudly, I'm not offended by it, regardless of wearing a headset or talking to the phone directly. And I think the article's author is -- or, at least, the way he writes makes him seem so -- easily offended by what other people do. I was considering buying a headset myself, but I think I've changed my mind, I think I'd better stay home or I could offend someone. Better yet, I'd better be deprived of Internet access or I could accidentally offend someone while at home, too.
