Odd ears?

I think I must just be fated where elecrical gadgetry is concerned, it seems that most of what I have bought over the years has chosen to disintegrate in a very short space of time and I promise you it is not mistreatment, I take good care of stuff.

Despite this I am well practiced at standing my ground with officious store managers trying to offload their responsibility elsewhere instead of taking ownership of the problem (and cost) and of replacements/repairs etc. etc. etc. This is in part because I am incenced at the crap that churns off production lines and in part because having spent years being the store personell on the other end of this situation I know the law and my rights inside out where faulty goods and the like are concerned.

So what is it this time? It's those damn bluetooth headset things, that for me cause way more distraction than just using the damn phone would.


I am currently on number four in approx. six months! All faulty save for one, the current new model that it would appear requires me to have enormous one size ears to keep it attached to my head!

I've had two just give up the ghost inside a few weeks, one that only answered calls intermittently and now this new delight, that if I dare to turn my head slightly, to for instance, observe traffic coming to a junction...ejects itself at high velocity to anyplace in my (also still broken) car where it is only retrievable with much scrabbling around on the floor!

I have tried everything but short of Sellotaping it to my head (or staple gunning it, thanks for that suggestion Fletch)I'm on a loser here....it just wont stay put, I wonder what tomorrows upcoming 'contretemps' with a store manager will bring on this issue?

Maybe I just have odd ears!
