So this happened to me at least once, and apparently RageComics had someone else with the same problem who submited this 4-pane:
 

 
My comment is probably 3rd, with the same nickname. Just sayin...
 
Anyway, do you lend your IEMs to friends? Do you force them to clean their ears first?
 
EDIT: I just realized probably most of you have no idea what this comic is, and if so, my apologies

yes, i have and on the whole its a horribly bad idea.  not for cleanliness but for a actually getting them back and them being treated in the same babying way we would kinda way.

If I lend my iems they must use their own tips. That's my rule.

Hell no!

Most people I know only use earbuds, so it's not like they have spare tips lying around, so I can't use the same rule as dbdynsty.
Besides, once they try my Sony Hybrids tips, they rarely want to go back to theirs...

Luckily most people use smaller tips than I do so they are welcome to use the smaller tips that don't fit me. Plus I got one of those huge packs of Super Tips so I've got a ton of extra tips that are too small that people can use.

Nope...  My ear tips won't fit them (most likely), so what's the point...  They won't hear jack for sound
