Have You Been BlueJacked?

[Brad Isaac]

While browsing around I found a site dedicated to annoying people with Bluetooth enabled cellphones and Pocket PCs. BlueJackQ has coined the term BlueJacking which is basically taking your Bluetooth enabled device and creating a new contact, but instead of giving it a name, write a message instead. Suggestion: 'Hello, you've been bluejacked', in the 'Name' field. Then you can search for other phones with Bluetooth and send that phonebook contact to them. On their phone, a message will popup saying "'Hello, you've been bluejacked' has just been received by Bluetooth" or whatever your message says.
Read their guestbook to find out how others have succeeded in annoying drunks, finding dates and other Bluejacking antics.
Have you ever been bluejacked? If so, tell us about it.

That's just plain....stupid....If I ever go out to a bar or restaurant with someone and they turn to me and say "Hey, do ya wanna bluejack someone?" .....I think I would have to puke right on their shoes.
That's just my opinion.
How about you?

Actually, I was sitting in a restaurant the other day and getting lousy service and the Bluejacking thought came to mind. So I pulled out the ipaq and scanned for devices. Nope, none nearby
Had there been, I might have sent a message like "Hi, terrible service in this restaurant, huh?"
There's even a different concept out there called "Toothing" which I am not interested in, but just shows how far this can be taken. Wired also has a risque article Brits Going at It Tooth and Nail you might wanna read...
