I Never Thought I'd Be That Guy

You know who I'm talking about. The guy who wears his Bluetooth earpiece while he's walking through Target. Well, that was me tonight. At least I was talking to someone though.

I think it's so lame when dudes wear their Bluetooth as an accessory. Is it really necessary? I get that they may forget it's there, but I'm pretty sure they do it to be cool. Maybe it is practical if they're constantly taking calls, I can't know. All I know is that I was in the middle of a conversation, on my way home from a client, I had to go in to Target quick so I thought I would continue my convo.

Well, I felt like a big tard walking through the store seemingly talking to myself. At least the people seeing me from the side opposite the Bluetooth thought so. It's not like when you have the wired hands-free earpiece; they can see that wire hanging down. Maybe I have to give people more credit. I would think they'd assume a guy talking to himself is on the phone; not like in the early days of the first Bluetooth's (Blueteeth?). Those guys were pioneers. They probably constantly got crazed looks shooting their way.

I'm still really not "that guy." I only wear the Bluetooth when I'm talking to someone, or in the car when the music is up, so I can hear the phone ringing.

I wonder if there will ever be a day when I see a guy with a Bluetooth on each ear. One for his work number, one for his personal number.

And how come I've never seen a woman wearing a Bluetooth? Am I not looking hard enough?
