I wonder when people will realize we wear headphones because we don't want to talk to them.

Having headphones on sure doesn't stop some asshat from trying to talk to me

damn true

@andros705 100% accurate and when do you do it, your seniors or boss will want you to document how you did it.

I do like conversations in the train but even when wearing it half (one of the cups covering an ear) nobody starts a conversation... When I take them off completely i get questions and have conversations quite regularly.

@Codex404 I have nothing against small talk at all.

But sometimes I just need to be alone, as I have a lot going on in my mind.

It doesn't happen a lot, but it does happen. I'll be in the library working on coding some homework and actually get asked to be tech support. I need to start studying in the CS/IT/IS building instead lol

@Stuxnet hmm cant relate :)

@Codex404 It's even worse when the actual tech support is on the other side of the building.

For fuck sake get up and ask them

@Stuxnet how do strangers know that you are techy?

@Codex404 I was doing CS class homework lol.

They were sitting behind me and I guess they saw my screen (kinda creepy... Mental note to lower screen brightness some.)

I thought these things were some pretty stereotypical bullshit that didn't actually happen, but boy was I wrong.

Fuck headphones.

Headphones to guard focus are a defeatist measure. It's my working space too, I should not have to hide behind music.

Coworkers need to have some social skills.

Concentrated stare at display = don't fucking talk to me, send me a message for an appointment.
