You just watched me take my ear buds out. Don't keep talking, start over.
Sometimes I just want to do things with loud music in my ears and that's okay. Working out, cleaning house, driving to my next repair, you name it.
Sometimes people cross my path and need to have a convo and that's also okay.
But why TF would someone just keep talking to me when they can clearly see me give them the "one sec" index finger before clearly removing an earbud from each ear?
Then I have to F***ing tell them what they just saw and prompt them to do the obvious. "Sorry, I had these here earbuds in my ears. Can you start over."
