1. If I was talking to her I wouldn't be looking at that thing in her ear. 2. I would probably let her assimilate me. Title: Re: Am I the only one who thinks this: Post by: Spartan on February 19, 2007, 08:55:34 PM I just roll my eyes whenever I see someone wearing one of those. Just what I'd want, a phone attached to my head. ::)

;) Title: Re: Am I the only one who thinks this: Post by: Aske on February 19, 2007, 09:09:28 PM i have one (well, a similar one)
essential. Title: Re: Am I the only one who thinks this: Post by: Aske on February 19, 2007, 09:14:07 PM if you've ever tried calling your utility/phone co/cable co/attorney/bank/whatever other service provider that is now allowed to treat customers like total dogshiiite since about 1995/1996 or so you've been dreaming of having one of these.... or else you're a masochist.
yeh, i'd like to hold the phone to my head for the 60 minutes of hold time (after holding it ... pulling it down to hit menu choice 4, picking it up, pulling it down to hit menu 7, etc. ::) Title: Re: Am I the only one who thinks this: Post by: Salamander on February 19, 2007, 09:17:20 PM I have one too. It's healthier and your ear doesn't boil. And my hair hides it, so people think I'm a lunatic that talks to herself. Awesome.

Title: Re: Am I the only one who thinks this: Post by: fisherking on February 20, 2007, 07:24:46 AM I don't get how it picks up your voice when the device is so far from your mouth. And if it's super sensitive, why doesn't it pick up tons of background noise?

And if it's super sensitive, why doesn't it pick up tons of background noise? Because the people using them are always talking so loud.

Floppy disk looking thingamajigs.
