Picture this. It’s been an excruciatingly long day. Sure it was only one three-hour class, but still. The desk was too small and the uncomfortable chair level measured to ass numbing proportions. Your entire body aches. Your stomach is literally starving for anything. And last but not least, you’re irritable. At that exact moment, you’re ready to punch anyone in the face for looking at you the wrong way. The day finally culminates in the worst way possible before setting foot inside that BART train, some jackass just stole your headphones.
THIS SUCKS! WHY? AHH!
These headphones aren’t just the five-dollar piece of crap from “Everything’s a Dollar.” These were that essential set that personified who you were: not too big, not too small, fit perfectly in and around the ear canal, and so comfortable that it let you drift into your world. Your headphones spoke volumes about you. “I like to be stylish and call attention to myself.” “I’m low key.” “I want everyone to know that I own at least one generation of an iPod.”
Now your headphones are gone. Someone just invaded your privacy and stole who you were. The thief took all your information and became you. JA(jackass) ripped your style: same usernames, passwords, friends, likes and dislikes. Why doesn’t’ JA finish you off and take your name too? Soon, expect to receive an American Express bill for five thousand dollars considering you only have a Visa and MasterCard.
It’s so easy for people to be careless. Headphones are hanging out of our backpacks. We put our emails and phone numbers on Craiglist. Personal information and incriminating photos are posted on Facebook and MySpace. Shouldn’t we be more careful?
