    #1stWorldProblemRant: a lot of people in the 55+ demo must not know what AirPods are. People at my work (including complete strangers) will try to strike up polite conversations with me when I have them in.

    I mean, it's obvious they're headphones, right? Which comes with the innate understanding that the person is probably listening to something, yeah? Is it because they're hard to see? What other reason would a stranger have for trying to tell me why they're tired after walking for 15 minutes on a treadmill in the company gym??? This kind of stuff happens far too often.

     

    And the worst is when I'm actually having a phone conversation on them. People can hear me talking and they try to interrupt. It's like they think I'm talking to myself.

      If you don't want people to bother you, then wear something more obvious. I wear big old over-the-ear headphones when I'm trying to concentrate and not be bothered. And unsurpisingly, people don't bother me except with important stuff.

       

      I'm definitely going to start talking to people wearing airpods now. When they get annoyed, I'll just say I was being polite in not mentioning their hearing aids.

      Meanwhile, I was at an airport bar and the guy beside me had these in.  He's talking.  I'm assuming if someone has these in, they are either on a phone call or listening to music.  No...he's trying to have a conversation with me and then proceeds to act like I'm rude because I wouldn't answer back.

       

      I personally think it looks stupid when people walk around with these things in when they aren't actually using them.

      @RedDenver I would end you. :lol:

       

      @BigRedBuster I agree. People who just casually walk around with them all the time are doing a total vanity ploy. I'll only have them in if it's going to be for a legitimate purpose, but I work with another person who pops them in almost every single time they get up, including to go to the rest room. Not really sure why.
