Have you ever seen someone with a hands-free cellphone and thought they were talking to themselves?

Question

Back before they were real common I saw some guy doing this and I said "look at that nutjob talking to himself."
Them I realized I was the only one in the car and I was talking outloud to myself! DOH!

Answer 1

HAHA!!! I was beside someone in a store once. The person was asking what kind of cleaner would work best, naming off the brands. I was more than happy to help, pointing out the reasons I use specific brands etc. Until he smiled and said..."hang on a sec" and told me he was on the cell phone!!! I almost fell over...LOL. He said thankyou anyway and was laughing too.

Answer 2

All the time!

One time I had to stop my father from talking to this guy because he didn't realise that the guy was on already the phone (hands free). Lol.

I hate that... trying to talk to someone and then realise your just making a mug out of yourself as he/she is talking on the phone. Hmph.

I don't like people talking on their mobile phones especially when out for a meal or something special. I am sitting there trying to have a nice conversation with a friend and she's spending time on the phone. What a waste of my time! I always like to switch off mine when out with a friend or on a date.

I'd answer a text message if it was an emergency otherwise answer them later.

Answer 3

No kidding. I saw this guy wondering around Wal*Mart talking to himself and thought, "What a whack job!' That was when i noticed that he had a 'thing' protruding from his ear. Seems it is one of the new 'blue-tooth' devices. They look bizarre hanging out of a persons ear. Kind of alien-like.
I remember when the first cell-phones came out and they warned of the dangers of cellular use and rising incidences of brain tumours. I wonder if these new devices carry a higher risk because you can wear them like an accessory at all times.

Answer 4

it is not any longer a query of being a good or a bad driving force.Youpersistent based on your reflexes and adventure that has have been given embedded on your ideas.further once you ask or respond over telephone is likewise based on your awareness and adventure.So once you have a tendency to do the two on a similar time your reflex means reduces and your employing means as a experienced does not persist with you from now on.So which you need to that in case you want to receive a call on a similar time as employing,park your motor vehicle aside for a on a similar time as or replace the settings of your telephone with voice mail or something alike to steer away from unwarranted happenings.I even have been telling this from my adventure having a employing license for the final 24 years whilst cellular telephone became into out of dream.

Answer 5

Yes! A few years ago when they were new. A well dressed lady was walking around a discount department store picking at this or that and talking normally to no one. I looked and watched her for a moment and thought..."OMG this one was let out too soon." The joke was on me...but Yes, I remember it well.

Answer 6

I agree. There is a U-Tube beer commercial where a young guy thinks that this rather handsome young lady is taking to him and responds only to have her say "Just a minute,there is someone here asking me a question." and pulls her ear piece out. Pure embarassment for the dude. Funny, funnn and humorous.

Sorry I can't pick out who is the real nut job for you. (^_^)

Answer 7

I've thought they were talking to me a couple of times when we might have been the only two people around, like in an aisle of a supermarket or something and I didn't see their headphone. You turn around to respond and they either look at you like you're stupid or completely ignore you.

Answer 8

I hear the voices. Always the voices. Do you hear them? They are coming from all around. I am used to it now, but before I had the same reaction you had. Who are they talking to? When I leave the house, I don't want to be speed dialed, I don't want call waiting, I want to be alone with my thoughts ( and my secretary; Ophelia Bumps ). I leave the house to get away from phone calls.

Answer 9

Yeah before they were common I did too. I even thought a lady was talking to me once and started to answer her! lol

Answer 10

I went as far as pulling my kids closer to me and away from the crazy by the door talking to himself. I felt foolish when I spotted his ear phone.
