The perfect Christmas present for. . . . well, an idiot I guess

It worked well with MY phone actually; it just didn’t like HIS phone.

Making fun of the Snuggie is old hat by now, but I am still amused by the “before” footage of people incapable of using a blanket properly.

Sweet!

Can someone buy me a rubber band for Christmas?

It totally is. Do you perhaps have small hands?

I have big hands and I can’t hold my cell phone for too long without my hand cramping. I definitely can’t hold it to my ear using my shoulder (big hands and no shoulders!)

If one had arthritic hands, holding a cell phone for very long would be right out.

I understand why the OP is laughing at it, and it is funny to look at, but I have problems with my neck and one of my arms, so when I hold the phone it has to be with my good arm and I can’t do anything else. So I’m unusual, and not a reason the item shouldn’t be mocked by the general public. However, for me it would be a help.

Am I being whooshed? A handset is far more comfortable. It’s shaped to fit the ear and face, and not just a flat piece of plastic. Plus with the handset, I have no worries about accidentally pushing a button and hanging up with my ear. Also, can lean it between my head and neck to have my hands free - smart phone shapes are usually too small to do so comfortably.

Well, considering 99% of nearly nothing is slightly more nearly nothing, I see no reason to suspect this is wrong.

Except now the radiation is confind to your pocket:eek:

Wow, I Pitted that thing way back in 2004! You mean they’re STILL selling it? I’d have thought it’d have gone the way of the dinosaurs by now!

My opinion of Western civilization sinks even more. :stuck_out_tongue:

Consider yourself whooshed. I can buy this for even less than the old-fashioned home-phone handset in the OP. It’s hands free, & it’s smaller so it will fit in my pocket when not on the phone. So why would I want the handset in the OP, excluding novelty purposes?

It’d be handy if you’re not allowed to hammer nails into your walls, like in some rentals. I use No More Nails for similar tasks on some walls in my house because I need/want to hang stuff up but I seem to have an incredible number of walls that can’t be hammered into, due to either pipes, wires or solid stone.

It costs a lot more, is harder to use and yeah, doesn’t have the cute novelty value which I’m sure is its main selling point. I have a headset, but annoyingly the sound on it just isn’t very good and it cuts out a lot, and it wasn’t a cheap one either.

In my opinion, the product in the OP wouldn’t be complete without this. With THIS, it’s alllll good.

I had one of those for the desk phone at some old job; worked pretty well.

I think it would be great to pair that with the handset in the original OP. The phone will fit in your pocket, you just need a bag about the size of an airline-approved carry on to hold the accessories. :rolleyes:

They also have this: http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/edd5/?rkgid=275668648&cpg=ogpla&source=google_pla&gclid=CPb1jKqP7rMCFexAMgod1VUAGw

Handy if you live in a state where CB radios are exempted from the distracted driving laws. :wink:

That site is fun. I just found this, which is a good solution for people who can’t use chop sticks.

“See, I actually CAN open milk, but I had you believing I couldn’t. Now that’s acting!”

One problem with cell phones and especially handsfree phones is that the audio pickup is somewhere around the sideburn area. This means that a lot of ambient noise is likely to be picked up. As someone who has a bit of a hearing problem, this can make getting a call from someone using a Bluetooth almost impossible to understand.

IMO, a SMALLER item isn’t always better. Might be better for the caller, but not better for the listener.

Last week I saw a Middle Eastern lady driving along, talking on her cellphone with the phone tucked up into her hijab.

It’s really a moo point. :smiley:

The cartons are so flinging flanging difficult…

And ‘up to 99%’ can mean ‘anything less than or equal to 99%, including 0%’ - so there’s hardly any way this claim *can be *wrong. Unless it eliminates more than 99%.
