 My wife says she wears them outside so that people don't try to talk to her :) But maybe she's really as tricky as you :p 
 it gives you a free pass from solicitors, they don't even bother trying to chat/talk. 
 This is fair enough, but what happens when you are meeting up with a friend? Do they stay in? 🤔 That's the bit I'm finding confusing lol 
 I leave them in and talk normally. If they ask, "I'm not listening to any music,I'm focused on this conversation" 
 I think it might be considered not-rude/normal now lol. Not sure. 
 But why are they left in? To not lose them? Let's say you know you're going to be with a friend for at least a couple of hours. They stay in? At an all night party? A dinner party? Under what circumstances do they come out? Lol
