This morning, there was a classic cellphone novice on the train. He had a wired earpiece (the type with the dangling mic) connected to his phone. So instead of speaking normally and standing in a natural pose, he held the phone straight out in front of him so that the mic would be in front of his mouth. It looked like the guy was on a walkie talkie radioing for backup! Even better... he was wearing Inspector Gadget's outfit... trench coat and hat. He also stayed on the phone for about 20 minutes... and his arm didn't get tired. It's too bad this guy isn't a Clockwork Apple character. I'd like to pick up more about him. Who knows... maybe I'll see him again and he'll get upgraded!

No matter how many times I see this, it always bothers me. I want to go up to these people and say "You bought this so you could use your phone without your hands, right? GET IT????
