ratbert90 posted:I don't hate deaf people because their other senses are heightened to compensate for the lack of hearing. you really overestimate the power of earbuds if you think they're blocking out sound lol you must also hate people who drive with the radio on too since its a distraction my eyes stay on the road, stop being a baby or go lobby for self-driving cars already because people shouldn't drive anyways

a bone to pick posted:Take your headphones out, put both hands on the wheel, stay 3 car-spaces behind the car in front of you, slow down to 5 under the speed limit, and maybe then you'll be half as good a driver as ratbert90. lol driving at 5 under is more dangerous because it slows traffic flow, causing traffic snakes

ratbert is the type of dude who drives exactly the speed limit in the left lane, then brake-checks you if you get too close to him.

Remember 'happy slapping' that fad where you would slap a stranger on phone. I predict there will one I call 'Bud Chucking'. You run up to someone with the wireless ear buds, steal one, and throw it as far as you can preferably into traffic or a river. It'll be the new Youtube sensation!

Gotta remove headphone jack. Can't have unnecessary holes if we are trying to waterproof this https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/sep/16/apple-iphone-7-headphone-jack-speaker-grill quote:Eagle eyed Apple fans irritated by the absence of a 3.5mm headphone socket on the iPhone 7 Plus may have been somewhat appeased by signs of another speaker in its place. The row of holes, giving the base of the phone a pleasing symmetry, hinted at something going on inside.

I think the takeaway lesson is, if you need a phone for business you should get a business phone, not an iPhone which is a toy for grown ups.

Sorry but this idea's a non-starter

Strange that earbuds that are designed for working out have those ear wrap around things, and that include Beats.

ratbert is the guy who starts slowing down even though the light is green, then when it turns yellow he comes to an abrupt stop.
