Random Acts of Music

Just now, a student crept up behind me and slipped a pair of headphones over my head. I don’t know her. She doesn’t introduce herself. Small voices, like backwards chimpmunks, say something inaudible to a hip-hop beat.

“I randomly subject people to whatever I’m listenting to,” says the student. I thank her “for the subjection” and she moves on.

I suppose it’s a good thing students at Seton Hill find me so approachable. But I’m definitely filing this one under “weirdness.”

    • Yikes...creepy...this student needs to learn her boundaries. There's a thin line between slipping on a pair of headphones and either a) a covering of the eyes and whispering "guess who, lover?" and; b) a garrotte wire around the neck.

    • Well, it wasn't TOO late when it happened. But yes, my wife would heartily agree that I should leave work earlier.

    • The common denominator here seems to be your working late. Perhaps you should leave work earlier?
