Team corded headphones all the way! 🙌🏻
Never forget the month when my AirPods automatically hung up my phone call every time I looked at a different screen.
I once had to call someone back SIX times because my headphones kept automatically switching devices and hanging up.

I once had to call someone back SIX times because my headphones kept automatically switching devices and hanging up.
Hot take: get outta here with wireless headphones. I swear I misplace my AirPods daily and it grinds my gears more and more each time.
Sold as a solution to the “annoying cord” that I didn’t know I was annoyed by, it’s the perfect example of marketing a nonexistent problem to be sold a solution.

Whenever I think about how polarized the US feels & how cultural differences seem dramatic between regions, I remember this one woman who very seriously questioned if the Midwest had basic infrastructure like an interstate.
It’s not her fault. She’d never visited. She only had stereotypes.
