CELL PHONES
Cell phones have been a fashion game changer. One of the silliest trends has been the phone holster. Although these have evolved to something slightly less ridiculous, the humor won’t die. When I see some dude sporting a holster, it never fails to conjure imagery of this douchebag thinking he’s an Old West gunslinger. Or perhaps Boy Wonder is working on a starter Batman utility belt. Obviously there is some utility there, but most people manage to make a pocket work just fine. I tend to think the holster is primarily intended to show off the goods. And by “goods,” I mean draw the eye away from his small penis.
The Bluetooth earpiece is the next generation holster. Its best feature is the way it has leveled the playing field for schizophrenics everywhere. Please tell me - when did people stop feeling silly about walking through a store talking out loud to an invisible person? Nothing says, “Look at me with apprehension” like hearing half a conversation. Of course, because we’re all attention whores, the douchebag really just wants you to give him a look (even if only out of concern). “Looky, Looky at my pretty, pretty expensive toy!” If you want to impress me with your disposable income, how about you just staple $500 to your forehead. I’ll respect your candor and not feel compelled to smack it off your head.
