I’m setting in the con course working on a paper due in a couple of days. It’s quiet here, the vending machine is humming peacifully, the classes are pretty much over for the day so the building is empty except for echoing click clack of the occasional person walking by, oh and the complete tool a few tables over listening to garbage.
Dear tool, I would sooner go to a “nickleback and celine dion do all their songs while tossing each other’s salad with explosive diarrhea” concert then continue to set here in ear shot of your rank tunes for another minute.
Your music is the auditory bastard love of tubgirl AND goatse. I think maybe it was mention in Dante’s Inferno because only a vengeful God would be able to cook up a punishment as tormenting as setting here in earshot.
Good Day.
No, see, if he likes the music, that means it’s really good, and nobody could possibly not like it. So you really should be thanking him for letting you listen to music he knows you like.
If the students around here are any indication, him wearing headphones wouldn’t help your situation at all. I’m frequently bombarded by music coming out of someone’s ipod earbuds from across the room. I have no idea how they can A) listen to their music that loudly and not suffer brain damage, and B) have absolutely no idea the people shooting them dirty looks can very clearly hear their trashy music.
Seriously, if you want a secure job in the future, become an audiologist. There’s going to be a huge spike in demand when the generation who retarded blasted their earbuds at full volume goes 90% deaf by age 40.
Si, Senor. I lost my hearing the Old-Fashioned way, at concerts. These kids have more hearing loss than I by age 25 without the concert cred to legitimize it. Note: I’m not saying they don’t go to concerts. I’m just saying their hearing was gone before they went. Which, if I think about it, so was mine.
Real conversation:
Me, taking off my headphones, which had reverberated across the room: That, my children, is why Daddy is half deaf.
When did “set” become a synonym for “sit”? I’m aware of “set” meaning to place someone or something in a sitting position, thus, “I set myself down”, but “I’m setting”? just reads weird to me.
Addendum: people who listen to shit music should have noise-reduction headphones/earphones. I’ve heard plenty of shitty music from people who have cheap headphones that project more outward than into their owners’ ears.
