FabSwingers.com forum: Bluetooth headsets

Ok. I had one years ago. To use in the car when driving.

Since gone 'proper hands free' and haven't used one for years. I've also seen way less people walking around looking like lunatics talking to themselves because you can't see the headset under their hair.

However!

I'm on a train. There's a guy four feet away talking on the phone. No problem - it's not a quiet carriage.

But why the fuck use a Bluetooth headset? He's not the driver! I can see both his hands and his arms have moved (he's holding his phone in one hand FFS!!) so I know they're fully functional.

His phone is like mine. An iPhone. Not a brick that weighs several kilos.

Surely to god it's not beyond a fit, healthy guy in his (I'd guess) mid thirties to stop shouting and hold his fucking phone to his ear so he can talk a tad quieter about getting 'sooooooo wasted last night'.

Fuck me I feel old.

And I've ad to turn my iPod up to full blast to drown him out.

So if I go deaf - I'm fucking sueing!

Oh - and did I mention how much I hate trains.

And yes. Even after yesterday I'm still aware it's not Thursday yet.

And breathe.

uh-oh, I really hope they have the car properly fixed, and ready to go when you get there.

Otherwise we might need a forum whip round to pay the bail money to get you out.

Maybe you should buy a French car and avoid trains

Holding a phone to his ear isn't neccesarily going to make him lower his voice.

True.

But he'd look less of a twat!

Maybe drop it on him from the AA tow truck!

Never fancied a headset and how people cant guage their own volume level is beyond me. Seen far less sets worn recently too. But too many in cars driving and holding phones to head.

Common-sense drives people who are heavy users to use them. Only a prick holds a phone to his head day in day out with microwaves pulsing through his head I though everyone knew that.

Are you on PMT week?

I have a blue tooth thing for the car. It has hands free and is all plugged in etc. but I hate that everyone outside the car can hear your conversation.

I never talk on the phone on public transport and I never tell anyone where I am.

You listen the next time you hear someone's phone ring and they answer... the first thing the say after they've said hello is 'I'm on the bus/train/whatever' cause the normal question at the other end seems to be 'hi, where are you?'

My response to that is 'it's a secret'.

Loud people on public transport make my blood boil. I have no desire to know what you had for dinner or whether your boyfriends feet smell. Vomits!
