I don't get why anyone who rides public transportation doesn't wear headphones themselves. Big obvious ones are best so people don't talk to you.
I do find that the more righteous I feel about someone's actions the more annoying it becomes to me. Despite how rude it is, and you're absolutely right about that, try to not give a fuck. It really helps to consider their obliviousness as a disorder. They're pathetic.
If nothing else, hopefully it'll keep you from actually pulling the trigger one day.
I almost never wear headphones in public. I prefer the situational awareness and being able to hear "This train is skipping union square" announcements.
I'm also a guy so I don't need the "don't talk to me" signal they provide.
Not everyone can wear headphones all the time.
Me, for example. I can wear headphones for maybe 45 minutes before the pain gets too intense and I need to take a 10 minute break.
Not who you replied to but I'm sure you don't blast music or other audio on transit when you need the break.
I don't. But I have to listen to others doing it.
I misread, I thought they said anyone listening while on transit not just anyone period. Makes more sense now.
There are bone headphones. You don't need to insert them.
Let me know which bones which aren't affected by the trigeminal nerve being near them that I can put those headphones on.
I looked it up trying to be helpful. Supposedly, bone conductive can overstimulate the nerve clusters - resulting in an attack of sorts. Most likely because they press on and vibrate the temples.
That really blows. I'd rather lose a finger. Sorry to learn of it.
In the spirit of the request, I would suggest beanie headphones. Assuming it's cool enough out, and you can tolerate a beanie, they may fit the bill.
Thankfully it's not an issue these days, but I'd be willing to try it if it becomes one again. Thanks.
Oh. This fucker is also goes to teeth? Then no idea.
Righteous anger is one of the main things keeping drag from pulling the trigger.
