The Bluetooth Ghost

There’s a guy here in our office building who wanders around endlessly talking on a Bluetooth headset. He does this all day long and in a variety of locales—including while standing at the urinal in our floor’s shared restroom. But, I’ve never actually seen him interact with people in real proximity to him: He just sort of paces and drifts around like some sort of between-worlds spirit. Sometimes I wonder if he might not just be more comfortable doing this sort of thing at home, or while feeding the birds in a nice park somewhere…

Maybe he’s combining the #1 and #3 of the Top 10 ways to look busy at work?

I forwarded this to the friend who I co-referee a BtVS game with. I love the idea of a ghost stuck wandering this world because of a cursed bluetooth headset or some such.

Bill: Hah! That seems like it’d fit perfect in a BtVS story :)
