    Me: working in silence

    Headphones: “Your battery is low”

    Me: heart attack

      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.

    I was using my brain as a media player and forgot I put headphones on to listen to media not hosted locally on my brain.

    In my defense, it was a really catchy song.

    I’m feeling attacked by the meme, then I read the comments and am contacting the FBI for witness protection.

      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.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    It is also tradition to change tasks only to realize the new task is outside the Bluetooth range of one’s phone, which was left in some inscrutable location.

      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

    Been rocking the aux headphone input in my care lately. This morning I was thirty minutes down the road before I realized I never hit play.

      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”.
