This is pretty much running in my head 24/7.

I used to do it all the time at my old job so coworkers would see them and leave me alone. It worked most of the time.

I was walking around with some open-ear bone-conducting headphones on the other night before bed trying to corral my daughter. They were connected to my phone but with no audio playing. I had forgotten I had them on.

And also didn't realize that the volume was all the way up.

Then, as I was walking into my daughter's dark bedroom, silent but for the calming white noise of a fan, I got a work email to my outlook app and it felt like the notification sound was coming from every direction, emanating from the very walls directly into my soul. I stopped and said out loud "What the actual fuck was that?!" before I remembered the headphones were on. A nice corporate jump scare to start the evening right.

My brain will ignore it, until it screams PISS NOW. might as well start on those emails. I ain't getting shit done in the next hr anyway

Not at all the same thing, but you've reminded me of one annoyance. heh.

I have dialysis three times per week that involves being in a chair, laid back for 4.5 hours. For some, they watch the provided television, but I can't stand it. I have over-the-ear headphones and I play a particular playlist every time and try to nap, and even if I can't get to sleep, I have my eyemask on, so it's a dark place with nice music to hang out.

Multiple times now I've been in a dream after having successfully gotten to sleep, and someone will talk to me in my dream, but I can't hear them because I have music playing in my headphones. (When I dream at night, no headphones, I never hear any audio in my dreams, so the lack of them talking is not unusual, except the musci playing I can hear). So in the dream, I realize I have headphones on, and I tell them - sorry, jsut a sec, lemme take these headphones off so I can hear you. And I take the headphones off, and te music is still going. So I take my headphones off again...... but the music is still playing. And I will take my headphones off a half dozen times, getting more and more frustrated that I can't make te music stop so I can hear them.

It's quite annoying, but somewhat hilarious (in an eye-rolling way) when I do wake up and remember it happening. lol

I've now had bluetooth headphones for a couple of years and I still feel very weird moving away from my desk and being able to continue listening. Brains are weird. lol

Oh, that is the worst. I want to listen to this song BUT ALSO that song AND that other song RIGHT NOW. ALL OF THEM.

I know it's a typo, but my ADHD really enjoyed trying to imagine a situation where an aux cable would be important/meaningful enough to "be in your care".

The FBi denies your request because you're not neurotypical.

It never is. spaceman-with-gun-behind-other-spaceman.bmp :)

That's why I believe in over-ear supremacy. Say no to plastic in your ears, yes to velvet around them.
