ADHD memes

I was walking around with some open-ear bone-conducting headphones on the other night before bed trying to corral my daughter. They were connected to my phone but with no audio playing. I had forgotten I had them on.

And also didn't realize that the volume was all the way up.

Then, as I was walking into my daughter's dark bedroom, silent but for the calming white noise of a fan, I got a work email to my outlook app and it felt like the notification sound was coming from every direction, emanating from the very walls directly into my soul. I stopped and said out loud "What the actual fuck was that?!" before I remembered the headphones were on. A nice corporate jump scare to start the evening right.

This is pretty much running in my head 24/7.

Headset is locked in mode

I used to do it all the time at my old job so coworkers would see them and leave me alone. It worked most of the time.

My brain will ignore it, until it screams PISS NOW. might as well start on those emails. I ain't getting shit done in the next hr anyway

I've now had bluetooth headphones for a couple of years and I still feel very weird moving away from my desk and being able to continue listening. Brains are weird. lol

Not at all the same thing, but you've reminded me of one annoyance. heh.

I have dialysis three times per week that involves being in a chair, laid back for 4.5 hours. For some, they watch the provided television, but I can't stand it. I have over-the-ear headphones and I play a particular playlist every time and try to nap, and even if I can't get to sleep, I have my eyemask on, so it's a dark place with nice music to hang out.

Multiple times now I've been in a dream after having successfully gotten to sleep, and someone will talk to me in my dream, but I can't hear them because I have music playing in my headphones. (When I dream at night, no headphones, I never hear any audio in my dreams, so the lack of them talking is not unusual, except the musci playing I can hear). So in the dream, I realize I have headphones on, and I tell them - sorry, jsut a sec, lemme take these headphones off so I can hear you. And I take the headphones off, and te music is still going. So I take my headphones off again...... but the music is still playing. And I will take my headphones off a half dozen times, getting more and more frustrated that I can't make te music stop so I can hear them.

It's quite annoying, but somewhat hilarious (in an eye-rolling way) when I do wake up and remember it happening. lol

The FBi denies your request because you're not neurotypical.

I know it's a typo, but my ADHD really enjoyed trying to imagine a situation where an aux cable would be important/meaningful enough to "be in your care".

It never is. spaceman-with-gun-behind-other-spaceman.bmp :)

Oh, that is the worst. I want to listen to this song BUT ALSO that song AND that other song RIGHT NOW. ALL OF THEM.

That's why I believe in over-ear supremacy. Say no to plastic in your ears, yes to velvet around them.
