The Bluetooth

I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing someone talking on their bluetooth cellphone.  I was eating in a restaurant the other day and I heard someone talkng joyously aloud and laughing out loud as a result.  I assumed that she must be enjoying a wonderful dinner with a good friend.  Suddenly I recalled seeing the waiter bringing her over dinner for one. 

My curiousity got the best of me so I glanced over toward her booth, only to see her sitting alone, laughing and talking to herself (or so I thought).  I wondered if I should call 911 until I noticed there was something in her ear.  There was a bluetooth device in her ear.  She continued laughing louder and chatting even louder as if she was holding a conversation with someone sitting on the other side of the booth.  Apparently, this was normal for her.  In MY day...yep, I said it...we locked people away for such behaviors.

Today this is a normal occurance.  I don't think I can ever get used to seeing this as normal and I wondered if anyone was like me where seeing this still catches you offguard, even for a moment, until you remind yourself that we're living in a bluetooth generation.
