I can't be the only one. These f00s walk around with the earpiece on all the time, whether on a call or not, and then talk ridiculously loudly into their retarded little douchy earpieces. I dunno it's just fucking annoying.

 

[SlickWilly223]

Earpieces are only cool when driving a car

 

[Ninja Scooter]

also annoying are people who use that Nextel walkie talkie shit.

"Hey whats up?"
**BEEP BEEP**
"yeah, im just here at the store..."
**BEEP BEEP**

 

[Sullichin]

Touch-talk phones are fucking retarded. What's the benifit? How is it any more convienent than using the regular method? I don't understand. :-(

 

[Wellington]

I use the nextel walkie talkie 'cause it's handy, but I'm not a fucking douchebag and I take it the fuck off of speaker. Why people leave it ON speaker is beyond me.

 

[aoi tsuki]

i'm annoyed by people who don't use cell phones discretely. This includes but isn't limited to talking louder on their cell than with someone right next to them to sound important, loud and obnoxious ringtones, using them when it's inappropriate like at the movies, looking down to see who's calling while driving or riding a bike, and continuous beeps from PTT (push to talk) phones. And i really hate it when i'm helping a customer who's on the phone, and they get mad at me for interrupting their conversation.

There oughta be a law...

Tell me there's a fucking way to turn off the beeping shit..or at least make it vibrate only...god I could kill someone whenever I hear that damn beep.

 

[Pochacco]

People who wear hands-free devices in public (e.g. malls, bus, etc.) are retarded.
If your hands are free but you're still wearing a hands-free device, you're just trying too hard.

 

[Dujour]

I do, but I just can't stand cell phones in general.

The Nextel 2-way was really fucking annoying about 2 years ago. Thankfully, a lot of people around here stopped using it.

*BEEP BEEP*
"hello"
*BEEP BEEP"
"hey, what's up"
*BEEP BEEP*
"what? Couldn't hear ya"
*BEEP BEEP*
"I said, what's up"
*BEEP BEEP*
"what? Still can't hear ya"
*BEEP BEEP*
"what?"

over and over it goes.

But...even more annoying than that is when people do the two way and constanly repeat "can you hear me now", but jokingly like in the commercials.

I do find cell phones nice when I don't want to talk to someone. On more than one occasion I've had to walk down the halls at school with the phone against my ear while I talked to nobody...just so I didn't have to talk to anybody.

Cant say I've seen anyone do that before. But yeah it would be annoying.

 

[pestul]

The only time I've ever seen it used, it certainly looked pretty necessary for this individual. His job appeared to completely revolve around the phone..

 

[Hitokage]

I like to be able to see that they're talking to a cell phone and not to an imaginary person.

 

[G4life98]

earpieces are the best...because it is uncomfortable to have that fucking cellphone screen gettin your ear all sweatty.

i use the bluetooth version of this model.

 

[Rorschach]

I hate the walkies. JUST USE THE FUCKING PHONE, ASSWIPES! Wtf was the whole point of the fucking nextel walkie feature? TO PISS PEOPLE OFF! It's so loud...worst thing you can do in an elevator is have your inane walkie conversations. DIE ALL OF YOU!

 

[The Faceless Master]

i like when people use the nextel walkie talkie mode more than regular talking, because i feel more comfortable hearing both sides of the conversation than just half...

for some reason, hearing just one side is way more annoying to me...

the hands free sets are hilarious.. i remember when my friend first got a bluetooth headset, he would get a call, then put the phone down in a vogue pose-like fashion on a table or desk or something and then just walk away talking hands free while his phone just sat there on said object in plain view of everyone...

If you take it off speaker you hear only one beep at the beginning of the conversation. Be considerate, fellow nextel users, take it off of speaker mode.

Ditto.

 

[cvxfreak]

Yeah, I find it annoying myself because it makes it seem as if someone is talking to himself/herself and I find that weird. I can't stand people who use cell phones while driving, either.

you know, you have every right to tell these people they are bugging the hell out of you. Silence implies consent.

Great story by William F. Buckley. The link actually has the entire thing typed out if you want to read it.

Sadly, you can't stop people from talking or annoying you. They have that right

 

[BigJonsson]

People who use hands free and yell into them just seem so schitzo to me

 

[Christoff Yurievich]

you may not be able to stop them, but you can tell them it's annoying you. Give them a guilty conscience.

Plus, while they have a right to talk, you have a right to not be annoyed. That's the one argument from people that annoys me the most: "It's a free country, I can do whatever I want." Yeah, asshat, you have the right to annoy me and I have the right to not be annoyed. (Not directed at you, just a general conversation I've had before)
