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?

It’s a thinner batter - think tempura rather than chipshop fish (or corndog if you’re of the USian persuasion).

You guys put cordog batter on fish???
