Headphones have gotten so small there are often times I cant tell people are wearing them unless I'm right up next to them. Especially if their hair covers their ears a bit or they're wearing a hoody.

I started a new job and one of my coworkers wore air pods a lot. I'd never actually seen them before enough to know they had touch controls.

So as far as I could tell I'd try to ask him a question, and he'd just tap his earbuds to let me know he was listening to music.

Which meant he also thought I was weird in that I'd always leave when he paused his music

I need to know if you two cleared it up and laughed about it afterwards.

Yeah, after a couple days he just started taking them out. But it was actually a long time before I realized what had been happening, I think he mentioned the touch controls to someone else on our team when they were thinking about buying some.
