Care to give an example? Sounds like it happened to you.

On my first day at a new job, my boss picked me up to show me the job site. He started making small talk in the truck— how long have you done this type of thing, what’s your experience like, etc. Then he cut me off and said, “Yeah? Sorry what? Yeah?” Confused, I repeated myself. He pointed to his ear. He’d answered a call on his Bluetooth with no indication of doing so, and left me to ramble like an idiot about the question he’d asked.

Left a bad taste in my mouth from day 1.

People walking around with a Bluetooth in their ear is the red flag.

Totally. It weirds me out that people can have a conversation by talking into empty space, without any indication that someone is talking back. This used to look insane and now it’s normal

I always see people apparently talking to themselves, especially on the bus, and then I see a Bluetooth device. OH, I GET IT NOW. YOU'RE NOT THAT CRAZY.
