Awkward Tunes

Coffee shops. They are great aren't they?! A place where you can go, drink your favorite hot beverage, and work or people watch.

When going to an establishment such as Starbucks, you tend to bring a computer with the intent of listening to some tunes and working on homework or whatever hobbies you enjoy. Headphones are an important thing to bring to listen to your music. Sometimes, I know its rare, but just sometimes the members of the human race make silly little mistakes. One embarrassing mishap that could ensue from the story that I set up would be one that happened, and has probably happened more than anyone realizes.

A friend of mine had an experience at a Starbucks that would be considered embarrassing by most of the population. She brought her laptop to do some work while enjoying the environment that is created at this caffeine syndicate, then proceeded to plug her headphones into her computer to listen to said tunes. As she was listening she noticed that it sounded loud and other customers around her were turning their heads in her direction. Just as quickly as it would have taken the Flash to run the distance between New England and California and back, she realized that she had plugged her headphones into the wrong jack and everyone around her was listening along with her. She plugged her headphones into the correct jack tout de suite and went on with her work, slightly embarrassed.
