I used to think a lot of people were crazy and talking to themselves or
having a conversation with an imaginary friend but it turned out to be a
Bluetooth cellphone headset hidden by their hair. ^_^

And then they look at you like you have interrupted them during climax when
you speak to them.

You have to admit that the changes in technology, which we all take for
granted and consider normal, that modify human behavior would seem alien
and bizarre to our younger selves much less than those belonging to our
parents generation. Both my late parents were WWII Army veterans and a
gadget as simple as a cellphone seen by them in the 1940's would be an
item belonging to outer space aliens. Imagine what people of that era
would think of a Bluetooth headset. :-)
