Unfiltered Story #32489

It’s Finals Week and I’ve managed to find a desk to sit at in the crowded campus library. I focus better when I listen to music, and so after I set up to study I put in my earbuds and turn on “Peponi” by Alex Boye and the Piano Guys. It’s a loud, African style song with lots of drums. About 45 seconds into the song, when the chorus swells, I suddenly realized that I hadn’t plugged my earphones into my phone all the way, and the song is playing loudly for everyone in the library to hear!

Me: (to the people sitting around me) Oh my gosh, I’m SO SORRY! I didn’t realize!

Girl next to me: (seeming a bit dazed by Finals) No worries.

Guy next to me: Yeah, I thought it was a bit weird for you to play it loud like that, but it’s a cool song! I didn’t mind.

(I made sure to play it only through my headphones after that, but I gave both of them the name of the song so they could listen to it later.)
