| Nov 23, 2015 at 22:29 | comment | added | Dan Henderson | @jpatokal Well, if we continue the "I'm a decent actor" analogy, no, because your initial look of surprise upon "noticing" them would be immediately followed by a look of annoyance at being "snuck up on", and certainly no look of "I have any interest whatsoever in taking off my headphones, or in fact, interacting with you in any way." | |
