Bluetooth

Why you annoy me:

• Possibly more than any other fad or technology, you serve to make white people look even nerdier than they already do.  Wearing a Star Trek looking ear piece with a flashing blue light does not make you look sophisticated or hightech or whatever the hell you think it's doing for you.  It makes you look like a total shit head.
• People who talk on a bluetooth headset look crazy.  Walking around talking to yourself at high volume used to be reserved for the insane and incontinent but thanks to the wonders of technology everyone can be mistaken for a homeless Vietnam veteran.
• The amount of people who need a bluetooth headset is very small.  The amount of people that have them is very large.  That is a strong indicator that severe douchbaggery is involved, but then again nine years ago I said the same thing about cell phones and I was wrong then.  I don't expect to be wrong about this, though.
• The cooler someone feels when wearing a bluetooth headset is inversely proportional to how cool they actually are.
• Very popular in the 30-something set.  That is rarely cool.  OK, never cool.

Possible mitigating factors:

• In States where talking and driving is illegal, than you get a pass for using one of these, but only in your car.  Once the car stops moving, you unhook the phone and talk normally, you fucking nerd.

• I have never seen a hot chick using one.  Knock on wood.

• The backlash against Bluetooth has already started, every comedy site or blog on the internet already has a post about them.  Normally I'd not even post this being so late to the party, but much like Nextel Phones, this fad can seeminly withstand a huge amount of derision and still continue.  Kudos on durability.
