I have never met anyone who wanted to genuinely talk to me, so that clear up a lot of problems.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

This probably goes for more of us on here than we realise, hence we end up on Languish conversing.  :P

What are Valmy notes?

I thought it was being used a verb there.

I note, you note, he/she/it/Valmy notes
We note, you note, they note

I first misread it and then decided to run with it.  :blush:

So if you need to talk to a woman with headphones you shouldn't?

Your need shouldn't trump her need.

I always take off my headphones if somebody wants to talk to me. It's a rare occasion.

Depends on what your need is.  I'm bored, let's make small talk" isn't much a of need, but "OH GOD THERE ARE WOLVES BITING ME", is.

Is it? Is it a great comfort to talk to someone while being devoured by wolves? :unsure:

Thankfully I'm boorish enough to tell her that she dropped something or that the train she's waiting for has been cancelled.

Is there any difference in this advice depending on the gender of the persons involved?  :huh:

Yes.  Women are delicate flowers and must be protected.  Anyone who says differently is teh patriarchy.
More like anyone who says that is the patriarchy.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The latest offering – "How to talk to a woman who is wearing headphones" – advised men to attract the attention of said women using much the same approach as an alien trying to blend in without arousing suspicion.

1. Stand in front of her (with 1m to 1.5m between you).
2. Have a relaxed, easygoing smile.
3. Is she hasn't already looked up at you, simply get her attention with a wave of your hand. Wave your hand in her direct line of vision so she can't ignore it." then stuff a dirty sock in her suck hole.
