#10 BLUETOOFERS

10 02 2010

The Bluetooth headset is a much needed device, especially in California where the law says that you must use a hands-free device in order to talk on the phone while driving…but there is a distinct difference between a Bluetooth user and what I like to call a “Bluetoofer”

Bluetoofer – |ˈbloōˌtoōfur|  noun.  One who wears a Bluetooth headset as an accessory?

I’m so glad that the evolution of the Bluetooth Headset has finally steered away from the BLINKING BLUE “I NEED ATTENTION” LIGHT…that used to famously PISS ALL OF US OFF. You know that FOOL up in the club lookin like Levar Burton in Star Trek or somehow acting like he’s talking to Mission Control. As if we all don’t know that he can’t talk to anyone over the loud Lil Jon track Blaring inside the club.

The Bluetooth Headset is the equivalent of what a Beeper was back in the day. It gave the APPEARANCE of IMPORTANCE, until they were available to the Masses, which then diluted the image. Bluetoofers still think that having these gadgets are cool even though local swapmeets carry most of these products now in an under $20 bin.

These are the true characteristics of a Bluetoofer.

  • He’s usually someone’s Uncle.
  • He’s 35+ Years Old.
  • He Might have been a Bus Driver at Some point in his life.
  • He wears Mock Turtlenecks / Hardbottom Shoes with Jeans/ Black Leather Jackets
  • He greets you with a Pimpy.. “WHAT IT DEW!!!”(even thought he’s too old for that.)
  • He Watches a lot of Action Films/CSI Shows
  • He looks like he hangs out with Charles Barkley
  • He wears Sunglasses in the Club
  • He’s an OFF-DUTY PASTOR.

BOTTOM LINE…WHEN YOU’RE DONE…PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET!!

THERE’S A LOT OF THINGS IM COOL WITH..BUT BLUETOOFERS…

….I’M COOL ON THAT!!!!!!

SHOUTOUT TO BLUETOOTHDOUCHEBAG.COM, A FUNNY SITE I FOUND WHEN RESEARCHING A PICTURE FOR MY POST.

I said hey you aren’t security, he threw his drink on me what a loser lmaooo He thought he was looking cool,

LadyScotia

@Relyn what you mean he threw his drink on you?! damn that is some sad style though…they need to be home on the damn phone if they think they can look cool in the club with a bloody “bluetoof” knowing you cant hear shit and not only that but knowing aint nobody tyrna call yo ass lmao.

10 02 2010
Vanessa

That’s the truth! Then when the phone rings they’re digging it out of their pockets to see who it is. Just use the phone. Ha!

You hit that one right on the head!!! I am so cool on bluetoofers!!!! Especially bus stop bluetoofers!!!

Yet another funny, well-written piece. I’m extremely pleased that you touched on this topic. The image of importance and pseudo-status that people attempt to create for themselves is pathetic. But it surely makes for good entertainment for the rest of the world, the non-toofers. I wish you would have touched on those who carry on these conversations using their BTs and appear to be talking to themselves or talking to you, then dramatically point out their BT as if it truly means something. I still have a strong suspicion that a good percentage of these toofers aren’t actually on the phone with anyone and are in fact stunting. These stunters are the lesser of the toofers lol.

Thanks again and looking forward to the next one!

Thanks for the link, glad you like the site.

I was just fed up enough about these self important “Bluetoofers” that I ended up creating this site back in July and have had NO shortage of pictures being sent to me on a daily basis.

It’s amazing how many people out there still wear these things thinking they’re adding a level of importance to their otherwise mundane life.

Sometimes i wanna snatch it off their ear just to see if they’re actually just talking to their own voicemail. I got $5 on it that 9 out of 10 are!

Neek

There are several people I’m related to who need an intervention on this right here. One of em had it on at the altar when he was minutes from getting married. His brother called him from a pew on his cell phone to remind him to take it out before he got married. HILARIOUS.

10 02 2010
vibianna

Omg!!!! Soooo funny I had tears … As I was reaing this I see 2 patients come into the clinic as true “Blutoofers”but they were older females LOL either way it still applies

10 02 2010
Soribel

I never comment on these things but i found this so truu..my dad is what he wuld call a blutoofer and he matches the 1st 3 characteristics..hes 45 and a bus driver…

10 02 2010
Lungile

Bluetoofers, flip phones, fast cars it all depends on who you’re trying to impress and how much you can spend. Cause we’re a society that is very interested in what you have. but on a lighter note I think it’s “middle child syndrome”, always trying to get at the limelight but never quite hitting it right like the oldest or the youngest/baby.

10 02 2010
Parfine

lmao at the characteristics! sadly we all know at least one person who fits many if not all these qualities thus making them a “bluetoofer” lol. oh and the graphic that was chosen is so on point with the characteristics its not even funny lmao.

10 02 2010
Ali G

it is my belief that these chumps are AFRAID to miss a call because their phones NEVER really ring.

10 02 2010
Mykisha

You’d be amazed at the number of people that don’t realize the bluetoof is not appropriate in church!! I’ve actually reminded a deacon to take his off! Damn shame! Who’s calling you….Jesus?

10 02 2010
Deadly Diva

This… Spot on…

Once, this “up and coming rapper” that was trying to talk to me gave me a copy of his CD… Why was the cover shot him kneeling, throwing up the peace sign like he was taking one of those club photos… with his bluetooth firmly in place…

10 02 2010
LaShanda

Okay, what I hate most is when they wear their bluetooth in church or at the dr. office or at a concert! Fool!! Are you really going to answer your phone right now, NO, so take that off!!! And it seems like they get bigger and bigger!!!!! I refuse to even wear one thanks to those who wear them as accessories!!!!!

10 02 2010
LaShanda

Oh, and when they wear them at the salon!!!! OMG!!!!

Guys and manly looking girls always rock those damn Bluetooth in their ears…I hate that! They look like a joke LOL! Instant turn off!

The Coach

This is funny! I am personally annoyed by “bluetoothers” who burst into random cell phone conversations in public. Does everyone need to hear you hating on your ex or about the crime you and your homie are planning.

Khambriel

lmfao I was just thinking about those people that always got it on like is it really that serious that you need it while you’re walking? Personally, I only use mine in the house when I want to use my laptop comfortably but that bluetooth does not leave this house at all lol

11 02 2010
Inglewood*Gee

Hysterical! I will admit Nile, you caught me with my bluetoof in my ear in my pix! I aint ashamed, but damn, I be forgetting that stupid thing is in my ear! At $120.00 I better forget that thing is in my ear, cause it better have top of the line comfort and sound for that price! Jawbone Bluetoof foooools!! LOL

11 02 2010
rani b. sure!

HILARIOUS POST!

may i also add for the female bluetootfers:

– she rock long acrylic nails in colors like “Red Hot Orange” & “Pecan Frost”

– she is 35 years or older

– she says things like “please believe me.”

– she has a license plate holder that says “Respect & Protect The Black Woman” and a Betty Boop bumper sticker.

HYYYYSTERICAL!!!

11 02 2010
Ali-Bey

Comical…people should go around and just start snatching them out of people’s ears.

I don’t care what the law says. Pick up the phone. I don’t want to hear your conversation anyway. Just another reason & way for dudes to floss what they have or want us to believe they have as they loud talk screaming into an earpiece. Women need to cut it out too.

11 02 2010
jamal jennings

True True True. Bluetoofers bother me! LOL! Also unless you’re driving…pick up the damn phone! It kills me to see folks walk-around looking like a schizo talking to themself. And by the way…if you’re in a large group of people, step yo a$$ aside to talk on your phone instead of talking about 15 other people as if we need to hear your conversation.

11 02 2010
Audizzle

I try to save that little raggedy battery in mine so when the call is over, it goes off! Plus I don’t wanna be calling nobody on accident… You should turn yours off too. A flashing blue light in my eyes when I’m never sober is never good. Kill dat ish! Oh yeah, stop talkin’ so dayum loud. They can hear you just fine dawg.

11 02 2010

Hella funny and true. Why do people feel the need to walk around with these things…that little blinking blue light catches me off guard sometimes. I’m even embarrassed to use my Bluetooth in the car and only do it when I HAVE to for work.
