if you walk around outside, and just raaant out into the air, nobody would notice!

No, it still looks insane.

I always unconsciously give these people odd looks, even though I know that they're talking on handsfree.

So no, it doesn't mean that talking to yourself out loud is normal now.

Sometimes I wonder if some of my more surreal conversations of the past few years are due to this phenomenon :duh:

Ditto @_@

I always find myself looking around, trying to figure out who they're talking to...

That and those tiny little earphone thingies make people look like they're from some really bad Star Trek ripoff :x

and totally freaked my brother out :D
