This will not at ALL be the last time I say this, but it will be the shortest, online

Dear total idiot with earbuds,

The convenience of something you can fit in your pocket, combined with how cheap they are to emit sound, causes them to leak out sound as you blast it out at hearing-killing volumes that are even more so because they pump RIGHT INTO YOUR EAR down the ear canal itself.  I can hear them if you sit next to me in a quiet room, and you're making me hate everyone for not bringing my own headphones (which respectfully cover my ears and thusly let less sound escape).  A lot of my music angst comes from the fact that people won't give my recommendations as even a shot as I'll give theirs, but I'm not going to force someone else to listen to my music in a non-venue situation, let alone tinny and garbled, even if it was fucking Beethoven.

Yeah, you look tired after a long week, ¿but does that outweigh my own fatigue?

Sincerely going to try and not suffocate you,
-Karthik
