I'm an idiot

Shoe_Eater

I have a tip for everybody who reads this post... NEVER LEAVE THINGS IN POCKETS.

I learnt this the hard way when my AKG earbuds were in my pants when they made it into the wash... I'm surprised they work at all, although the left side is like at 20% of the volume of the other one, the sound is discorded, and i can't use it on any phones because the volume rocker is fucked to the volume buttons and the play/pause button keeps triggering on it's own, :( sad sad days. 

Also i am wondering if anybody would know of a good replacement for me to use, and they would have to be the small in-ear ones. 

 

Also atleast these borked ones smell nice now :D 

Sadness is the one true emotion, and happiness, well, that's just a lie, sadness is all many of us feel, and is all we need to feel, because having it any other way, would just be wrong, why be happy when you can just be miserable like myself.

Don't worry fam, when I was still in high school I left my HTC earbuds (which I had to use every day) in my pocket and went on a go-kart track for a few dozen laps and totally snapped them to bits because I went into them corners with fury. ?

Apple Headphones... Well... I remembered i had some old ones under my bed that i stopped using because they kept causing blisters in my ears, and the cable started getting badly damaged, i tried them last night, and #1 they barely fit properly anymore, and #2 oh my god they sound so shit, and #3 you have to have the volume at max to get to where the AKG ones were at 30%

This is more of a status update but yeah I keep thumb drives and like things in my pockets but I ALWAYS make sure to empty every pocket before throwing the pants into my hamper or the laundry pile.

i normally do the same, but this was that one day when i did everything different, because i did some driving after school, and when walking to the door, i needed to put my headphones in my pocket because they were getting in the way, but i threw my phone and wallet in my bag when i grabbed my keys, and since i only had headphones in my pocket, i forgot
