Dealing with Those Who Wear Bluetooth Headsets

At my last job, nigh-imperceptible Bluetooth phone headsets were introduced. For a few days, it was a charming innovation, increasing the wearers' productivity and liberating them from the confined of their desks. There was humor, even laughter, in talking to someone for three minutes only to see them turn their head, revealing both the headset and the fact they remained completely oblivious to every uttered word. Mystical convergences occured as conversations merged and parted, speakers floating around offices, shifting between the real world and the false one, glued to their ear.

It wasn't funny for long, and there's a certain epicaricacy in knowing that others share my frustration — yes, I know I'm late to this party — but this fellow has done something about it. Here's my favorite suggestion:

5. Throw piping hot coffee in their face.

... the guy four people behind you is yapping away like he's talking to everyone in the store and you've finally had it. Quickly change your order to a regular coffee and throw it right into his face. Keep in mind though, if you're caught you'll probably be facing legal charges. But, if you get away clean you'll be satisfied for life. Next time you have a bad day you can think about the time you threw hot liquid in that yuppies face.

The whole post has a raw, unedited quality to it that helps preserve the author's vicious hatred of these devices. Just a few pleasant thoughts to begin the morning.
