Anyone else put in headphones with absolutely no intention of listening to anything, just to make people less likely to bother you?

    I find it has the exact opposite effect.

    Having misophonia, nothing seems to help. Especially in an office.

    I put them on because even if I dont listen to music the outside sound is kinda muffled, which helps :p

    It's better to use your phone microphone. If you are listening to music, you can be bothered. If you are on the phone or in a teleconference, you can't.

    A few times I made believe I was in a phone conversation - with myself.

    @joaonunes I do this quite a bit, sometimes I'll go 3-4 hours of wearing them with no music and then realize I haven't had music playing. Also I inadvertently discovered that it was a good eavesdropping tool...

    And when they walk up to my desk I point at a random part of my screen and say without raising my eyes "oooh kinda in the middle of something urgent here, buddy"

    This!

    I keep them on to reduce the chances of a co worker who is a PM from asking me questions

    I always put on my headphone when my boss around. It's better than listening to some bullshit.
