I have chirotelephobia, fear of using my hands when dealing with telecommunications. Thankfully, JBL takes matters out of my hands.

No, I'm not anti-hands. I just really really REALLY don't like to use them when using the phone. A lot of prominent figures throughout history have had chirotelephobia: the guy who invented sand, that woman from the "Where's the beef?" commercials...no, not the old lady. Uh, who else. George Washington. Not the president. Anyway, it's a thing and using headphones has really improved my life such that I no longer set fire to my phone whenever it rings. The only downside, in fact, is that the headset triggers my glossokaciraffphobia, which is the fear of talking while something is on my ear.
