How Not To Look Like a Jerk While Wearing a Bluetooth

The single most annoying thing about wearing a Bluetooth is the blinking blue light that lets you know it’s on and lets everyone else know you’re a jerk. Use a piece of electrical tape to cover it up.

Wearing your earpiece in the car is fine, but take it off when you’re in public and not using it. Remember to remove it before entering a restaurant, meeting a date, or attending religious services.

If you must talk on your headset in a public place, avoid looking people in the eye. Bluetooths make it hard for others to tell whether you’re talking on the phone or to them, so don’t confuse things further by making eye contact.

Use a normal conversational volume when talking in public. Yes, the mic is located way up by your ear, but Bluetooth headsets boast advanced sensitivity and noise-reduction technology. Keep your voice down, practice proper etiquette, and soon you’ll be able to wear your Bluetooth without shame. Or at least less shame.
