Slipped my mind
I nearly forgot — I have a London blog. I’ll be posting London-related items over there. I’m not sure why I need a separate blog for it, but what the hell, right?

For me, my newest annoyance is that of the bluetooth rednecks. Remember those folks that wore a cell phone like some sort of badge, even though it wasn’t all that big of deal anymore to have one? Well, they’ve been replaced by folks that wear blootooth earpieces EVERYWHERE they go, and its just so obvious that they in no way need one.
Rant over. Carry on.
Oh, man. I couldn’t agree more.
Not only do they appear to be self-important asses who can’t possibly be out of instantaneous communication range for a fraction of a second; but they also come across as insane when they stand there talking really loudly to thin air.
And the Bluetooth revolution has just added to the rudeness we experience everyday, especially when they are chatting away to some unseen person while ignoring the one standing in front of them. Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I prefer to pay attention to whoever is there in person, and don’t answer my phone at all in those instances.
