Bluetooth gloves exist are still somehow less douchy than an earpiece : theCHIVE

September 13, 2012 | In: FAIL, Tech, WTF

: So you like the convenience of talking on a Bluetooth headset but you don’t want to look like a complete D-Bag? Well, just in time for the cold Holidays you can buy the Hi-Fun Bluetooth glove that lets you make and take calls like you’re pantomiming the ‘call me’ gesture. The glove features a speaker built into the thumb, a microphone built into the baby finger, and a simple set of controls on the back of the hand for pairing and other functions. And all this for the low, low price of $60 — WOW!

Yeah, this is special kind of dumb, isn’t it? Oh well, back to the drawing board.

"The bluetooth glove is awesome," they said.
"You won't look like a douchebag at all," they said.

With this people will just think you are being extremely odd. At least blue tooth is known to exist and people guess it… who has seen someone talking to their hand seriously when they are not on drugs?
JESSE

#2 anyone else seeing "hj" fun?

I think I'll just hold the fucking phone up to my ear and save the $60.
Yesssss

Finally!!

I guess those of us without pinky fingers are once again shunned by the rest of society. fu*k you baseball glove for not working correctly, fu*k you. -insert tear on cheek here-

Does it come with a homeless sign stating that your "not crazy, just talking to Jesus"?

Bob it's a pinky finger. Baby fingers are on babies.

#2 "dude, it's like the best barrels dude, like waw, crash, tubes dude. like ya know" excited Californian's, surfers especially, would constantly be making false calls or hanging up on people. using their same hand gesture for this is bad idea.

Sweet, now I can keep doing this without looking crazy. "Don't walk around talking to imaginary people with your hand phone." They said…look who is laughing now?!

Is it just me, or do all the people using this thing look really uncomfortable?

#1 I don't know what's wrong with you people, I think it'd be fun for a while. Especially those days when it reaches -40c up here in Canada.

Nothing wrong with an earpiece as long as it's not used as a fucking fashion accessory. When you're done with your call, take it the fuck out.

Awsome! do they come in fingerless gloves too?
RobboJohn

Another invention I can pass on.

I'm not going to lie, I think these are super clever. I think the wool is a bad idea, maybe some nice leather gloves instead, but I would buy these in a second.
james

And why was this idea chosen instead of a hat? seems like that would be more convenient. Just sayin
