Its funny I came across this thread, because I have the same habit *cough* paranoia *cough*. I have a cheaper pair of headphones that leaks sound quite badly if its too loud, so I always take off the headphone set and move it farther and closer away to see if I can hear any noise leaking; I adjust my volume accordingly...

I even do it when I'm alone...

Is that paranoia or is that paranoia?...

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.

My biggest fear, it still sounds like its playing in your ears even if it is unplugged.
