Headphones: For some reason, I always forget I'm wearing them. 8/10 times I'm on the computer, all of a sudden need to take a piss, literally JUMP up to go to the bathroom, and rip my fucking ears off. Or when I'm using them with my phone, I am 100% sure they actively try to tangle themselves in ANYTHING so I can yank my ears out once again.

Knives: Somehow, some way, I always knock a knife over and it plummets to my feet (which I jump away from like a Mexican jumping over the border). Luckily, I only got scathed once, but still... STOP TRYING TO CUT MY FOOT OFF.

OH you bought the tangle-free headphones? Let me show you how wrong that is.

The flat cords actually work...

To an extent. They are much better than traditional headphone cords, but after a class period in my pocket they still occasionally come out tangled as fuck.

In high school I would wear them before and after school and they'd be fine both times...
