A Ringing Rant

I'm quite certain I will step on toes with this thought, but am I the only person who doesn't see the new cel phone earpieces as a bit over the top? I'm talking about the little headset contraptions that make people look like a telephone operator. Okay, I admit that they are safer for people who chat while they are driving. But (here goes some more toe-stepping...) I've never been a huge fan of talking on the cel phone while driving. A couple of years ago, I told my husband I wanted to make a bumper sticker that said, "Hang up and drive!" I didn't do it, but he called me one morning right after he'd gotten to the office to tell me he saw a bumper sticker saying that very thing on his way to work! Great minds think alike! A friend met me for lunch once with her new hands free device...wore the thing the whole time we were eating. I never knew if she was talking to me or into the phone...turns out, she was always talking to me. But are people so attached to the things that they can't remove them to eat lunch? Or tonight at church, someone was leading music wearing one...really? Come on, Jane Jetson...let it go! I'll also admit that when I am out shopping (not very often) and my cel phone rings, I have to dig through my purse looking for the thing and by the time I find it, the caller has usually left a message. Maybe I would love one of these things. Hats off to technology...I mean, Alexander Graham Bell probably never imagined that his invention would one day be strapped to people's heads with no cords attached, you know? I do apologize for the rant...I mean you could be wearing one right now...and by this time, you've dialed your best friend who also happens to be wearing one and you're slamming my post into the ground. I really am sorry...I guess I just don't get it. Well, better go...my purse is ringing again!
