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.
