Hmm that’s an interesting question. I wouldn’t want to wear headphones when I’m in the middle of an offline meeting. I don’t use headphones when I commute either, as I think listening to music when I’m riding might put me at risk of unwanted accidents. I’m an accident-prone person ya know (laugh).

There are specific situations in which you won’t find me wearing headphones. One of these scenarios is when I’m operating a vehicle on the road, as this action can lead to serious penalties, including potential long-term suspension of my driving privileges.

Moreover, I abstain from using headphones when traversing unfamiliar or unsafe areas alone, as a precautionary measure against potential risks like theft or physical harm.
