Thinking outside the box

In My Humble Opinion
1

As I got up to fix myself another bowl of Cheerios, I was yanked back by the earbuds in my ears still attached to the laptop. In a move I barely registered, I reached over and unhooked the wire where it joins the laptop. I was walking into the kitchen when I realized what I’d done…
I didn’t remove the buds from my ears? This goes against everything I’d ever known! Silly Luna, I say to myself.

Yet…when I returned to the computer, juggling a bowl of milky goodness, a napkin, and a CD I’d left by the fridge, it was so easy to just pop the wire back in rather than set everything down, find the buds, untangle them, figure which goes in which ear, brush my hair back and insert.

So, Dopers, how many of you have figured out this handy tip before me? How do you deal with headphones and earbuds?

You just figured this out, huh?
I’ve got an earpiece for my right ear w/mic on the line… I just unplug and do what I need to do. It fits my PC and cell phone it’s barely noticeable and is “flesh” colored. I understand somebody’s making a wireless now that the plug to the pc and/or phone is an antenna/transmitter. You can unplug it and take it w/you plug it into the phone or whatever and wires are thing of the past. Haven’t actually seen one so it maybe BS don’t know for sure?
