What Makes My Skin Crawl...

...although perhaps I'm expressing this too strongly - is seeing people walk around with bluetooth ear appendages - the ones that let them talk on their cell phones hand and wire free.

In case you're wondering why the owners of these contraptions never seem to take them off, it's because at any moment the phone may ring, and then with the press of a button on their earset, they can answer. No need to pick up a phone or an earbud.

The result? That these bluetooth users start looking like cyborgs, with slick electronics permanently attached to their orifices.

If I ever go around with one of these things, please, as friends, say something to me, don't let me do it.
