As a city dweller without a car, headphones are part of the essentials when leaving.
✅ Keys
✅ Money
✅ Phone
✅ Headphones
And probably a backpack.

I never leave without a severed human head. It keeps the strangers from talking to you.
al snow is that you?
no this is al tilly, the bum.
I started leaving one bud out when I'm in a public crowded place. You gotta be aware of your surroundings for many reasons, politeness being one
I'm usually aware of my surroundings even with the headphones. Apparently sometimes more than some people without them. I just remove them when I need to interact with others. If I really needs to hear the crap around me, like when I'm cycling, I use bone conduction headphones.
And if it's so crowded that I need to hear the people around me not to bump in them, then it's too crowded for me to be there in the first place.
I'd encourage you to use one headphone but face that headphone towards people you don't want to talk to. That way you can still hear things around you and kinda tell people to fuck off.
The Sony earbuds I have have an "ambient sound" setting that actively brings in exterior sounds along with whatever you're playing. Depending on the scenario sometimes I'll wear my earbuds to send the "prefer not to interact" signal while not even listening to anything but with the ambient setting on. Yes, it's like listening to the room with extra steps, but with the outward appearance that I'm not listening to anyone around me.
Next month? I got a merry Christmas on Thanksgiving. I was insulted.
The War on Thanksgiving continues
The sanctions on Christmas will not be lifted until the illegal occupation of Thanksgiving has ended.
This is why "Happy Holidays" is a thing.
2 words to cover Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and new years.
I will not stand for this woke efficiency!
Non-US countries start Christmas literally the day after Halloween.
US started it a couple weeks before Halloween.
I am joining the war on Christmas against Christmas. Gonna shoot down a jolly fat fuck with my home defense patriot missile system just as the founding fathers intended.
Let whammageddon begin. I passed last year, let's see if I can do it again
You mean you passed last Christmas?
Do you think that this year, to save you from tears, you'll give it to someone special?
You still go in the store for your groceries?
You mean you guys go outside?
GROCERIE SHOPPIN

The same 6 songs done 8 million different ways
What are the three songs?
Mariah Carey - All I Want for Christmas Is You
Edit: tried reverse searching the third one but I'm still not sure.
Rockin' around the Christmas tree At the Christmas party hop ~ 🎅🌲🤶🇨🇽
But Bieber's version.
Hooray, gotta make room for those High value Xmas goods and those essential foods don't make the cutoff (Hope you like Ham) Yay Logistics...
Nah, that sounds like a debuff. Christmas music builds rage for Rampage.
