So I went into radio shaft yesterday looking for a replacement service cause I don't like nextel anymore.
The guy sees me and starts the whole phone sales pitch... blah blah blah...
I choose a phone with bluetooth and such and he starts to ring up the sale. Halfway through getting my information, he tells me about the bluetooth capabilities of the phone and how he has an earpiece that may fit nicely in my FF helmet I was carrying.
Him: "I have an earpiece that'll fit in that helmet..."
Me: *stares blankly*
Him: "You'll be able to set the phone to answer for you after a couple rings and you can talk like that..."
Me: "Oh, you're serious? You think it's ok to talk on the phone and ride at the same time? Do you use a cell phone when you drive your car?"
Him: "Yes, I do. It's very safe."
Me: "People like me get killed by people like you..."
And I walked out of the store.
Amen! At least drunk drivers are trying to pay attention and thus are a lesser danger than cell phone users.

I remember constantly getting funny looks when people would come into my store and say "Hi" and I'd say something back, having not seen the little doohickey in their other ear.
Why did they give ME weird looks? They're the ones walking around mumbling to themselves like schizophrenics...
