Ear piece

Do you really need to keep your bluetooth ear piece on when you are not on the phone? It does not make you look important; it's just flat out annoying and quite frankly anti-social. Give me a break and put it in your pocket when it's not in use.

For the record, this is not directed at Mitch; it's directed at every idiot out there that insists on clipping those stupid things to their ear. If you need something dangling from your ear so badly get your ears pierced and buy a "George Michaels" hoop.

COME ON.

This could not be directed at Mitch, as Mitch still uses the earbud that is connected to the phone. I'm not cool, I don't care. But I have misplaced andI do miss it. And I agree, when its off and you're not on the phone -- in the pocket it should go. I sat behind a guy from ATL to NYC who had it 'on' his ear the whole time in the air. I don't get it... I laughed, but I don't get it.

Inadvertently you were talking about me, however when I was 17. I had a George Michael hoop.

You are right Mitch; this one is not for you! This one stemmed from the arrogant copier fixer guy that was ignoring me when I was explaining the problem with the printer and why we called him. I finally said, "OK, are you on the phone and that is why you are ignoring me or is it because you don't think I'm important enough to recap our printing issues". For the record, all I got was a smirk... needless to say, he is no longer our printer fixer guy. We found a guy sans ear piece.
and at 17 i think we would refer to the hoop as "dangerous"... that was very Rachel Bolin of you (oh wait that was a nose ring - or was it a nose ring that connected to an earring, i can't remember). That was very Kip Winger of you.
