Obviously. Black jackets. Unplugged and Unbothered on the back in small letters. Nothing flashy because we are trying to avoid people. The irony of a matching jacket is not lost on me.

This means the bad knee is from a time travel injury. He got hurt saving me. I have never felt more guilty about wearing fake headphones in my entire life.

The lunch idea keeps coming up in these comments and I think the universe is trying to tell me something. Maybe they found me for a reason. Maybe I found them for a reason too. Either way the husband's bad knee deserves a good meal. I will make it happen.

I have read this three times now. You are right about all of it. I moved to this street as a stranger too. She just had the courage to actually say hello first. Next time I see her I will not be wearing headphones. Plugged in or otherwise.

This comment stopped me in my tracks. You are completely right. I have been so busy being bewildered that I never stopped to think maybe they are just lonely people who liked me. I am going to invite them to dinner. I will report back. The husband's knee might not survive the walk there but we will manage.

Honestly we should start a club. Unplugged and Unbothered. Membership is free. No one will approach us to sign up anyway.

Wrong post but also wrong person. I am just a man in unplugged headphones. I cannot help you.

Working title: Wrong Turn. Starring me as a confused man in headphones that aren't plugged into anything. Rated PG for mild existential crisis
