Earbud Breakage

[TheEmoGhost]

Has anybody bought a nice new pair of earbuds just to have them tie themselves like shoelaces in your pocket? What are your theories as to why this occurs? Be creative/and or funny.

Not really... I use the ones with the hooks to go around my ears because normal buds just fall out of my ears.

Thus, with the added plastic, the gremlins in my pockets have a harder time trying to tie them in knots.

One Earbud is the evil twin (Usually the left one) and tries to murder it's twin by strangling it with the umbilical cord.

WHEN WILL THE VIOLENCE END?

 

[Thaluikhain]

Always. Tried various different ways of wrapping them up to avoid it, but with no success.

 

[MammothBlade]

Yeah. Earbuds are like that. My solution, get yourself a proper pair of headphones and listen in style.

Pocket Bud-Dwarves. Fuckin' dwarves. Always changing up my shits.

Huh? I thought earbuds were those things with the cotton tips that you use to clean your ears. I don't keep them in my pocket, that's gross.

I think they are just sentient worms that can transmit and translate electrical frequencies and voltage. Seriously, those things even have set styles they tangle into, one of them turned itself into 2 Windsor Tie Knots (or whatever the hell they're called).

My school friend and I always referred to the mystic forces behind their tangling as 'pocket elves'. I guess it becomes pretty boring living in a pocket all day, and knotting together some earbuds kills some time.

Nowadays I tend to use "proper headphones" more, so the tangling problem is greatly reduced.

It's the earbud's protest. They tie themselves hoping that you'll give up and leave them. I mean, ear wax is vile, you'd find any way you could to try and avoid being put near that stuff.

Simple, earbud are in fact creature or to be specific creature who are dicks. They intentionally tied themself up as they take pleasure for us to try to untangle them all.

That is why. For a funny reason, I like to think it's done just to upset me, just like every other thing beyond my control.

I suppose that's not actually all that funny. Oh well.

Earbuds are what happens when you give Hitler an R&D department, and funding from Beelzebub.
They should be thrown into a black hole, and much joy will ensue.

I do have "proper headphones" but can be clunky for wearing anywhere other than my house so I have to do my bidding for the pocket elves.

 

[Swyftstar]

Gremlins. I have Gremlins who live in my house and follow me around. They are the ones who tie my headphone cords, and every other cord for that matter, in knots. They are the same ones who move my shit when I'm not looking so it's over there when I swear I put it right damn there. /huff, pant

Have you checked to see if she weighs the same as a duck?

Pfft. I know better than to ask a question like that! If I stop posting in these forums just considered me cursed and turned into a frog or something.

You think that's bad, you should see the bin I keep my spare wires in. I think magnetic forces in the earth tangle the wires slowly as I sleep.

My Charger Draw looks like a whole bunch of server networks. It's a common problem.
