90% of the time I have nothing playing on my headphones so you get my plus 1
HurgenSchlurgenGlurgen
Today I'm wearing them mostly to keep my ears warm as the heat's off in my office while they're fixing part of the piping.
Zicora
They talk to me anyway.
Rin007
I wear my headphones outside of home without even plugging them in. I just want silence. The downside is I feel naked without them.
grooooooogleeeeee
I do it so when I talk to myself people think I'm just singing.
km9v
I keep a telephone head set on all the time. Most people ask if I'm on the phone. It will depend on if I want to talk to them or not.
thelostg
I do this all the time bc I have no office and people are always making noise nearby. But people still come by and distract. I hide bc of it
smarmageddon
I wish I could have headphones at my job. Would listen to ALL the audiobooks.
tilerd
Ahhh, I love this tactic.
ItsJustRocketScience
Keeping my ear buds in calms me down. I leave them in 90% of the time.

I have a guy I work with living next stop to mine. I sit on the seat forwarding the bak of the bus and in the end, so he won't come over.
spiderisdeepinmysoul
Nothing personal, I just hardly enjoy conversation in the morning.
furyzeke
pfff ... i did it at work, on the bus, on my way to work, basically every time im outside. now i gotta talk to people at work... sadly
TrillKollins
You must be new to corporate america. Many of us do this
imonlyhereforusersubmitted
I do this outside work, walking around, it's a comforting feeling, you can observe and absorbe the world but not be hassled by people.
SethForsberg
Yep this is me. I do this all the time.
gorleg
Up voting just for the FP update. Class
BADASSartoo
plot twist. OP is a psychatrist

I like this game. I'm going to go with...911 Dispatch Operator.
CarBENbased
How about a ceo of a multi million dollar corporation?
onlyalurker
i wear mine constantly as an excuse to ignore people. it keeps casual bothering to a minimum and honestly they keep my ears warm.
CookieMonsterr
I keep them on with/without music becuase we have annoying ass white noise machines and I pratically sit under one. >.<
BenSnow97
Get a set of headphones with active noise cancellation and play silent pink noise
whiskeyvillage
YES ! YES! YES!
Chainhealer
Might aswell listen to some music then?
EnvoyEngineer
You are not alone. That and I can't read dank memes and listen to books at the same time.
ThatGuySev
I do that pretty much 24/7
littlemorte
No, you aren't but I always have something playing and they still come and ask questions..
Eldslibo
I work with stupid people who don't get the hint, and still talks to me.
Jennifer089
Yep. Me too.
borys666
they aren't stupid, they simply don't value what you want to high. I would do the same. @OP is talking about life in general, not work.
Jennifer089
"People think I'm unhappy but I'm not. I just appreciate silence in a world that never stops talking." ~Finnish worldview explained.
Jennifer089
And, most of my co-workers annoy me to no end so...yeah. All day long..."I know, right?!?" Just please STFU!
hodorgoestomordor
At my old job I would do that so I could eavesdrop on conversations without seeming conspicuous.
thepersonwhostaresatyouthroughyourwebcamwhenyouthinkitsoff
One of the perks of having Peltor WS Alert XP. Ambient listening. You can hear conversations from far away with the volume cranked up
BillyJoule
You sit at your desk with those on? You probably look a little crazy.
wingweaver415
Dude i do the same. Here HR sits right across from me. They wont give her a private office. I hear so much juicy shit.
hodorgoestomordor
YourFosterParents
equally as clever!

Same reason I wear sunglasses when it is not sunny out.
jerryshigan
Like...at night. So you can what?
jerryshigan
Mobile app just decided to crash, and posted thrice. Ugh
ShurimanTurtle
Dude, delete your copies.
jerryshigan
Done. That was tedious.
DontTazeMeBrah
We got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses
