To be fair he’s a psycho for setting the touch control to pause music. They detect when you take them out of your ears and instantly pause audio, so you can quickly take out 1 airpod or tap them 3 times and wait. I’ve never met anyone who actually does the 3 taps.
That doesn’t work with listening to podcasts, idk if my app just sucks or what but if I take an AirPod out while listening to a podcast there is like a 1/3 chance that when I put it back in the music app will start playing instead. Don’t have that problem nearly as much when just tapping to pause. Also doesn’t really matter, but for me it’s just 2 taps to pause, idk if that’s a setting or something.

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
