a few years ago i heard a news story about a kid who was hit and killed by a truck. the explaination was he was "wearing his headphones" at the time--the implication being it was his fault. putting that aside, how does wearing headphones rule out driver error?
someone mentioned in the iem thread that companies might not pay out personal injury to employees that use headphones at work.
have you every personally encountered animosity for wearing headphones at your job or anywhere? i've noticed senoir citizens seem to have a blind spot when it comes to headphones, and will get very irate if you do not answer then when you can't hear them.
i almost got beaten up by a gang in seatle's pioneer square because someone was talking sh!t to the back of my head and i didn't turn around. i had headphones in and couldn't hear him! another time someone wanted the time and kept screaming at me until i took my headphones out. they were fuming!! i simply didn't notice them.
ever put you cans on and you wife or so comment "trying to block me out, huh?"
why is it some people take it personally when you wear your cans?
