When Not to Wear a Bluetooth Headset

The Gadgenista asks when it’s appropriate to wear a Bluetooth Headset. For all the clueless out there, here’s a quick guide:

  • Do wear Bluetooth headsets when driving. Recent laws should be enough incentive.
  • Don’t wear Bluetooth headsets while walking around. Unless you want to come off as the Locutus of Borg.
  • Never ever wear Bluetooth headsets while on a date. But if you’re date is already wearing one when you meet, feel free to do so.

Bonus Tip: Make sure everyone can see your Bluetooth headset while you’re talking handsfree. It’s so easy to look like you’re talking to yourself if it’s not that obvious.

    I think those folks who ALWAYS have the headset in their ear even when they are NOT on a call are clowns. But I must admit they do come in handy when you are on a call and need two free hands.

    I must add another tip. Never wear a bluetooth headset while being intimate with another person. It can be a bit disconcerting. “Really, baby..you want me to give it to you harder…Oh you’re talking to the person on the phone…ok…sorry”

    I think it looks stupid when you wear it all the time. only wear it when driving or in a situation when you need your hands. take it off when you’re done…it’s not a fashion accessory
