Cell Phone Zombies

[KYGOTC]

You know the self-important a-holes that I can't stand? It's the ones that have that blue tooth thing stuck in their ear....like they're so important that they need this thing attached to them.

I refer to these folks as "The Borg". 

ooooo very nice!

I've become sick to death with most cell phone users.

UGH!   

I wish it was like the 80's again.
No cell phones.  Just people actually talking to one another face to face.



What do you think?

Do I detect hints of a agitated Caucasian male?

The Borg. I like it.

Being a Doctor Who fan, I usually associate the Bluetooth wearers with Cybermen. The  "earpods" in their case, literally do turn people into zombies. One of my favourite episodes.

There's a legitimate use for a lot of these things, but how many people are walking around with a mini headset on just to look like a stock trader?

I have a cell phone that I usually take to work and on long drives. I don't generally have it on me. I have to look up the number if I want to give it to someone, because I never memorized it. The number is usually only left on the voicemail of hard-to-reach people when I need to hear from them quickly and won't be in my office. Most of the time, the only person who calls me on it is my wife. And if she calls while I'm in a meeting, or at some other inappropriate time, I just reach down and shut off the phone, then call her back later.

You know Cheeze, we prefer the term, Angry White Man.
