Headphone/Earphone Paranoia - Master - 09-15-2015
Do any of you guys frequently take your headphones/earphones out of your ears for a second to make sure that music isn't blasting from your phone or computer at work? I'll honestly take out my earphone every few minutes and check, that's how much it scares me.

Nope, you are just paranoid

Get better headphones. Then you can blast it as loud as you want with no one else being able to hear it.

I do, only if I'm in the bathroom.

I tend to do the same thing if I'm in the library ^^ I had a couple of headphones that leaked sounds like nothing else, and habits are hard to break

I used to, but then I was like "I don't f00kin care anymore."
So now if anyone hears it, it will be fine because I couldn't care less about their taste in music. :B

I am my own boss so I don't give a shit really.
I work on cars a lot and do farm work at times. On top of that I am going to start getting into the knife making business I am actually buying my more crucial equipment next month and that is a belt grinder.
I plan on using 01 Tool steel for that job so I don't require more sophisticated and expensive equipment but also keeping high quality steel.

It actually happened to me publicly on a train, whereby I thought the headphones were plugged Into my cell phone, but they weren't fully Inserted and everyone heard what I was listening to.
The bad thing was, I was watching YouTube of a stand-up comedian where every second word was f**king. The young children's parents didn't appreciate It much at all. Now I make sure they're fully Inserted Into my cell phone each time.

And they didn't think to tell you this? They didn't think it would be reasonable to tell you that your earphones weren't fully inserted? That seems like a better alternative than what happened.
No. I can't say I have this paranoia. I just make sure my music is still just low enough, if someone is flustered by my music volume being too loud then they don't mention it, because I've never received complains that my music is too loud.

Depends where you are. If you're on a train and you're going to be sitting there for a while, I keep it at a moderate level so not to annoy the people sitting next to me. Whenever I've had a bad day the last thing I want is someone blasting rap music next to me for the next two hours. *cough* @Dyme *cough*.
