All of a sudden, wireless headsets are a big story.

Last month we told you about a big San Francisco Chronicle feature on how those who wear Bluetooth headsets get mocked by their probably-jealous peers.

Now the Wall Street Journal is chiming in, saying users look like “a half-assimilated Borg” (which is pretty cool, we think) and questioning user etiquette.

Non-Bluetoothers complain that talking to someone wearing a wireless headset is distracting and often rude. Said one disgruntled person, it’s like “shaking hands with gloves on.”

Oh, boo hoo.
