It's happened.
For much of the early part of the decade, every time I would buy a pair of headphones, it would die within a year. 4 years ago it ended. I bought a pair of headphones and they've survived every trial I've thrown at them. Stepping on wires. Dropping them. And....um...I guess that's pretty much it.
Well after four years, my headphones, have started suffering from Left Phone Erectwire Dysfunction©. It's nothing to laugh at. It's the #1 cause of Headphone Related Problems in this country alone. Do you have any idea what it's like watching Colbert and having the sound drop out every few seconds? While I'm sure he doesn't.....he can't fit headphones over that big ass floppy ear of his.
This could be a major struggle going forward with this disabled pair of headphones. This could go far, far into the future. Perhaps even as far as Sunday. I don't know how I'll last. It's going to be tough, but I'll brave it out.

I feel for you, Midkey. Only last week not one, but two sets of my headphones contracted this vile disease. One was the headphones for my portable CD player, the other was the headphones for my computer speakers. Both are very important to me.
So I went to Best Buy after school on Monday and got both a new pair of headphones for the computer, and a new CD player for myself. (The CD player was suffering from other non-critical maladies already. This was just the straw that broke the camel's back.)
As I was checking out, some little rat-bastard 12-year-old totally cut in front of me in line. The checker watched him do it and then helped him first anyway. They're both assholes. I'm not in the habit of screaming at other people's children in public, but he would have had it coming.
The checker who finally helped me asked me if I wanted an extended warranty on my new CD player. I was like, "No, I already feel like I'm 100 years old because I'm buying a CD player instead of an MP3 player. I'm not going to make it worse by buying a 2 year warranty on the thing." Well, I didn't say it, but I thought it really loud.
Anyway, now I can listen to music and YouTube videos alike and not be missing half the sound.
I hope you can get through your own crisis, Mictha. Good luck, man.
