What about drunk bums, they'll talk to anyone.

They'll talk to you regardless of whether or not you have headphones in your ears.

Ya seriously, people don't talk on the bus.

But usually I try to engage in a conversation; people jump right into it.

If you are on a bus and you really don't want someone to sit next to you, instead of putting something on the seat next to you like a book or bag you should stare directly into the eyes of the passenger trying to take the seat and smile wickedly while patting the seat. You can be damn sure they wont want to sit there after that.

Except that people always insist on saying something to you, even if it's obvious that you're wearing headphones...

Thank you for reminding me that I needed to charge my Ipod! It wooda died tommorrow!

I mainly have my headphones on to block the noise from other people blaring their music through their shitty cell phone speakers, or that guy on the other side of the bus that has noise cancelling earbuds, but I can still hear his music.

[–]EOTWAWKI 0 points1 point ago

Oh yeah? And since when has wearing earphones prevented people from talking to you? The reverse - they encourage it.

[–]cablemigrant 0 points1 point ago

[–]NotTrying2Hard 0 points1 point ago

Or unplug your headphones and pretend you're deaf.

That's not socially awkward. That's considerate.

Nobody wants to feel obligated to make small talk with you. Leave them on. It'll make us both happier.

[–]cuddlyogre 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Why would anyone feel obligated to smalltalk? It is such a pointless activity.

Aw no way. This totally happened to me the other day and I was asking my friend if I should make a SAP of it.

[–]Djsoundwave 0 points1 point ago

And then cute derpina comes in and asks what you're listening to and asks if she can listen too... (thoughts? = ....fuck...)

I love these posts, they make me realise that I'm somewhat well adjusted for not freaking out over this.

[–]randomphoton 0 points1 point ago

It's better when life is somewhat muted at times.

[–]holySTRIKE 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

this isn't socially awkward, this is just common sense. i've only been addressed by a couple of strangers on the bus (while without headphones), and they were both batshit crazy.

[–]zeppelinfromled 0 points1 point ago

People talk to you on the bus? It's pretty general public transportation etiquette not to talk to random people, at least where I live.

[–]Akwardlatino 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yeah. When you are listening music everybody talks to you, when you are not everybody ignores you...

That's not awkward, that's clever.

bwahaha this happens to me a lot.

[–]33rpm 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

without reason at all, i feel like a huge idiot when i do this. i imagine everyone thinking "what the fuck is this moron doing with headphones in without listening to music" even though obviously there's no way they could know. it's a pretty big problem.
