the cord on my trusty old pair of these snagged on my shoe last week and snapped. i gasped and stood there staring, unable to comprehend what had just happened. these headphones get me through the day. they’re my saving grace when i want to zone out and escape distraction. this was a big loss for me. i didn’t really feel like spending another $30 on headphones at the time, so i thought i’d put off replacing them for a bit.
no. way.
it’s been about a week, and even my anxiety medicine doesn’t cure me of FREAKING OUT when i hear repetitive noises while i’m trying to be productive. there are certain noises that will physically propel me out of my chair and away from the sound. i can’t take it. as a child, i HATED hearing my mom scratch her head or file her nails. it was (is?) a long running joke at my expense. as an adult in the workplace, i’ve found constant foot-tapping to be the most irritating sound on earth.
these headphones have been my absolute saving grace. i was sad to say goodbye, but i will welcome the new pair with open arms. i am well aware of how strange this makes me sound, but everyone has their quirks, no?
this might be my biggest and weirdest.
