9 Ways To Look Ridiculous While Using Your Cell Phone (PHOTOS)

Our culture is becoming more and more centered around our mobile devices, and therefore there's no shortage of manufacturers trying to cash in on accessories that they claim will make a phone more convenient or more accessible. Most of the time, though, these add-ons are poorly-conceived and cheaply-produced gizmos that only accomplish making the user look more ridiculous. Take a look at some of the most inefficient and silly phone attachments produced in recent years. Vote for the silliest!

omfg, I've seriously been wishing I could keep my cellphone strapped to my arm somehow, because I leave it all over the place, baahahahahahah

Oh god, the umbilical cord charger is really good too. But David Lynch didn't envision it, David Cronenberg did, in the movie, Existenz. I can't wait until all our personal electronic devices look like body parts.

Wearing that holster would probably get you dead in a lot of cities.

I got my 80 year old mother an I-Pad and taught her how to use it to make phone calls on Skype.

But I told her she needed to hold it up to her ear like a giant I-phone.  It really looks ridiculous and she has not figured it out yet.  But it tends to get her off the phone in less than a minute.

This is - like - a Muppet Show gag, right? Bunsen Honeydew straps this thing onto Beaker's face, and when he takes it off the face is gone...

I hate everyone who seriously uses/purchases one of these gadgets. I don't even need to know them.

However, I would have given the banana thing to my husband. We were the "are you happy to see me, or is that a banana in your pants" kind of folks.

If you buy any of these--you'll buy anything!

Been cell free for three years now. For nine long years a very "special" cell company whom I won't name (DA DA Dududu) abused and took dreadful libertys with my wallet , auto pay, constantly "renewing my contract", and billing me for things I did not sign up for.... they were like some sort of wierd corporate herpes that wouldn't go away no matter how much I spent or how many years I went without getting a phone "upgrade" (but alas the phones break, and the phone company says that you will have to pay a grand to leave the relationship now... or they can give you a new phone and contract extention). It was such an abusive relationship that they even scared me away from their compitition!
It is easier than you think, and the benifits are similer to quitting smoking (live longer because you paid attention to the road, and you have a lot more money) and you speak to the people you are WITH... and stop ignoreing them for (and annoying them with) the phone. The cell accessories pictured only serve to accentuate what was already ridiculous in the first place.
The only people who NEED a cell phone are drug dealers, and phyicians.

So as a freelance designer I don't need to know when jobs come in and clients need changes. OK, I'll give up my phone, and once I'm homeless I'll come live with you.

I'll remember your advice next time I'm heading into 20 miles of bad traffic and get a call that the emergency has passed and I don't have to go after all.
