New level of douches - VR

39,439 5,562 January 19, 2017 at 04:34 PM in Travel & Vacations
A couple years ago I posted about noticing more and more idiots taking photos and videos with ipads. Now, I am noticing more people wearing VR "gear" out and about - meaning no device but the VR "goggles". I've seen it a number of times in airports and such.

Has anyone else noticed this?

It could make sense in an airport, lots of waiting, then moving to go wait somewhere else. Get to the new spot, or stop to do your social media stuff, then put the phone back in. Dunno, seems hard to care about.
That seems like a good motto for you.

What's up with all the douches judging the people wearing VR glasses without a phone?

Reminded me a conversation with one city slicker, how NYC public transportation riders go about preserving personal space in the overcrowded morning rush bus or subway train.

Look around, if you can't spot the douche in the crowd, it's you.

Do you have a mirror? If no mirror, use your selfie camera on phone. If phone battery is dead, find reflective pond.
