Does he usually walk up to random people on the street who aren’t wearing headphones to try start conversations? 😬

Judging by replies to that thread… yes, quite a bit. One woman described how she had to wear ear protection after ear surgery and a guy removed that to talk to her from behind. She was in pain for 2 days afterwards.

Edit: my personal experience is I had 2 different guys tap on my shoulder and ask me to remove my earbuds by gesturing. Both times they were trying to pick me up. I was just on the way home from work, exhausted and also heavily married.

What is lightly married?

lol, maybe engaged? So like wearing just the engagement ring instead of both rings?

Soo… Just regular engaged?
