hey no problem, we’ll just wait

 

1. When I drive, I turn my cell phone OFF. If people insist on trying to reach me, they can leave a frakking message on my voicemail!

2. I drive for a living. All my friends know this. It is okay to leave me a text,I will get back to them when I stop. I only answer one ringtone (after pulling over) that is my mom who knows to only call in life or death circumstances.
   What, to me, is irritating, is the passengers who get into the car and start having a long ~private~ conversation that is obviously not for public consumption, or they get on the bluetooth and start talking to someone without informing me they are on the phone until I reply to a question gaining an evil glare and them tapping on their earpiece.

3. I came up with a game called Bluetooth Baseball.  Take a Louisville Slugger, any size, and whack the offenders head on the side opposite the ugly little device.  How far it launches the electronic ear weavil dictates what you score.  5ft - single, 7ft - double, etc.  You might have to experiment......

4. I finally got used to not answering people who were walking around a store talking (usually loudly) as I did not realize that they were talking on their phone - not to me. I hate those people who talk while driving they are either going 2 miles an hour or a zillion and watch them when they turn - it is like they are a spaz or something. But I hate the new systems in cars worse - I can’t believe that people can’t see it is going to be Uncle Sugar’s way to track them and possibly prevent them from having control over their own driving habits.

   Stupid, stupid people - the new phones have such tracking in them - Yeah great that you know where you are and can find out in a nano-second how to get to where you want to go - but it also means that someone else (Uncle Sugar) can too. Youngest daughter also wonders about those new bells and whistles on ADT/etc to allow you to ‘view’ your home from a computer - umm, doesn’t that allow other people too?

5. Wardmama4:  Yeah, I’ve run into a few cases where I thought one of these Bluetooth-Borg drones was trying to talk to me, and then I realized they were in their own world.  Very annoying.  I’ve repeatedly thought of making or buying a small limited field cell/pcs jammer that would only work within about 20 to 30 feet, just so I could disconnect these feckless idiots.
