Fucking hate this. I will be jogging and some ass hat will start talking to me so I have to stop, remove my headphones, just so I can hear their lame ass small talk. Take a hint! People also love to start talking the second I put my stethoscope on and put it to their chest. A.) now I can't hear your lungs/heart B.) and I still didn't understand a word you said because it all sounds like you are under water! Shut up until I'm done listening!This message has been edited.

You could just continue jogging while pointing to the ear bud in your ear while saying, "Sorry, can't hear ya," with a smile. But then again, you might fall into the sinkhole they were trying to warn you about. "It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946. | |||

Well if there's a Sink hole in the middle of the city then the world is probably coming to an end anyway. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

Just like when you're reading and keeping to yourself. "What are you reading? What's it about?"  | |||

Seriously, get over yourself. Do you think someone can see your little earbud while your bouncing up and down jogging? | |||

Yeah they are white and hang down past me ear lobes so yeah. Before those they were bright neon orange so yeah. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

I will keep an eye out next time I go for a run I Central America. I'm sure most people who live in Guatamala city actually wish the world ended. _______________________________________________ Use thumb-size bullets to create fist-size holes. | |||

You mean you don't automatically check to see if someone is wearing earbuds/headphones when they're exercising? Even if I'm not going to talk to someone, I tend to see if they're tuning out the world. Dusty's rant reminds me of the time a friend of mine tried to hit on a cute young lady by asking her what she was listening to. She replied, "music," and totally shut him down. "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

Happens at work all the time. First time I point to the earbud in my ear. After that I just smile and nod. | |||

Not if they're jogging or running by you on a sidewalk | |||

So you are the guy he's complaining about then. Why would you even bother someone jogging past you? Do you really need affirmation that is a nice/shitty day out? Couldn't you just strike up a conversation with someone who's not in the middle of exercising instead? And you told him to get over himself? Do you think, maybe you are the one that needs to get over yourself, if you think your small talk is worth interrupting someone's work out? I wear my head phones sometimes with nothing playing just to keep people from talking to me when I am busy. Jesse Sic Semper Tyrannis | |||

I don't understand stopping someone who is running just to chit-chat regardless of earbuds. SIGforum's triple minority "It can't rain all the time." - Eric Draven | |||

Get the fuck outta here with that. Yes. People can and do see that. And if they can't see it, they should reconsider trying to talk to people who are exercising. NRA Life Member Steak: Rare. Coffee: Black. Bourbon: Neat. | |||

I don't stop anyone on the sidewalk to chit chat.......however, I don't see how it's a big deal.....if the OP finds it to be a big deal, then don't stop and just keep running......there are a lot bigger things in life to worry about IMO. | |||
