Is it bad that just prefer to be listened to.. and they take out both bc I know you're still listening to something and it doesn't make me feel like you're paying attention? I've got to where I hate earbuds in general
I have an attention problem probably but also no one looks at me when I speak so it really bothers me when both happen I may just be an attention whr tho
In my culture (or rather just me) I wear noise canceling airpods in both ears with a pre-recoded video of heavy rain falling to cancel all the noise. See that's what noise cancelling means, I don't want to hear noise.
Rude is people talking on the phone sitting next to me on the subway.
In this day and age I think we should be promoting real conversations between people. Everyone forgot that thing your playing music on and watching videos was originally for communicating with other humans.
I'm an introvert. I spend all day dealing with people because they pay me for it. When 5 PM comes I'm done. Small talk on the subway is Dante's nine circles of hell.
Well I at least turn off the music when people talk to me. And only keep one AirPod in ear at a time to hear surroundings and not have to pull out phone for notifications.

Also, having a phone conversation while you’re being helped by someone or serving someone - no.
You came to an establishment to be interacted with
