    First: I do NOT think I am all that important, I simply have a busy schedule and having my bluetooth ear piece makes MY life easier-plain and simple and yes I think I DESERVE somethings just cuz I am me.:biggrin_25525: Second: I do NOT take my phone to appointments or the theater period. I DO take it in the store with me. As for leaving a voicemail/message I dont know how many times I have left messages or had messages left for me that were over a DAY late in being sent. COMMON SENSE GOES ALONG WAYS and so DOES HAVING SOME ETIQUETTE.

    You have a big problem admitting you were wrong.

    I have admitted nothing nor put words in your mouth.

    You need to have an attitude adjustment as well.

    How about the police officer who is chatting on the phone and typing on the computer while passing you at 70?

    I almost never talk while driving and rarely when I'm not driving. Just ask those on this forum that try calling me. :biggrin_2556: simplyred, BW, Redd and Oldnew can tell you I never answer the phone.

    i was not particularly speaking of you and your habits, but the habits in a "general way" of many people and their perpencity of thinking they are important people.

    first, i said nothing wrong, as i SPECIFIED cell phones, NOT blue tooth, and yes, you were trying to add things to what i was saying, in effect, "putting words in my mouth.

    and my attitude is JUST FINE the way it is, seems as though you are the only one that has a problem with it......

    secondly, cops do as they want to do, becasue they are special people in thier own minds. if a cop were to get into an accident and hurt or kill someone, then he/she ought to face the same consequences of their actions. and i do believe a cop was in such an accident and fired, and he was able to collect workman's comp for his injuries. i think i just read that in this months OOIDA magazine.

    About Bluetooth:

    1. Remember when only crazy people talked to themselves in public? Nowadays you hear people shouting, screaming and/or discussing sexual practices clear across the parking lot. Do you really talk to your wife/ gf/ hubby like that? If so, I and everyone else don't want to know about it.

    2. Methinks if they're so worried about about cell phone usage it would be fairly simple to set up vehicles, etc to where the signal is blocked within the vehicle or a building. My pet peeve is grocery stores. Whole aisles full of women gabbing away while driving the most lethal vehicle known to man... the shopping cart.

    3. Think about where you are and what you're saying when you use the phone. I find it highly startling to sit down in a bathroom stall and hear a male voice say "Hi Sweetheart" from the next stall.
