That's very 'look at me'.

It's not 2005 any more.

I've noticed this as more of a phenomenon of the past few years. I would say maybe it's just where I live except I've noticed it everywhere I've gone lately.

For sure.. why the **** are people having conversations on speaker phone while shopping for groceries? It's so obnoxious.

Seriously. I was on a train last week and the dude sitting behind me was playing a game on his phone with the volume all the way up. So I got up and moved to the next car. I was about sit down, then I realized the couple next to where I was about to sit were watching a video on YouTube out loud. I just want to buy cheap headphones in bulk and throw them at these people.

I lose mine all the time, or the earpiece rubber comes off. I kind of buy cheap earbuds on purpose because of how often I lose or break them. I actually have a pair of Sennheiser headphones that I use for my bass, but likewise I make it a point to not really use those unless I need to. I have M-Audio 10" speakers for my laptop, they're not exactly amazing, but they do they job and they're definitely better than 20$ speakers or laptop speakers that pick up no bass whatsoever, so I really don't even use my Sennheiser's for that, either unless I'm really trying to immerse myself into something musically or with an audio file. On some occasions, if I really want to have fun though I'll bridge my laptop sound card to my amp to play with the DSP.

Yea then you gotta wiggle them or position them in a exact spot or in my case wrap them around your phone.
