Logorrhea – The inability to stop talking. I have a friend of more than fifty years who has it bad. He has tested our friendship doing this on more than one occasion.
At work, we’re only allowed to use a certain kind of sound limiting (very quiet) over-neck headphones, made bright orange so that they’re distinct from banned (effective) headphones. Yesterday someone was loudly singing along to music, singing so loud that she couldn’t possibly hear the music over it. I looked, and she was wearing a cloth head covering, presumably covering ear buds. She never wore the head covering when she wasn’t using headphones. Pro tip: don’t draw attention to yourself when you cheat.
Myself, I experimented with wired headphones that look like the hearing protection in-ear pieces connected to each other with plastic. As long as I drop the wires down the back of my shirt, I thought I could get away with it. Soon a supervisor was looking right at me while asking a question and he never said anything about using unauthorized headphones. Still, I didn’t want to push my luck, so I stopped using them.

Some people need to talk a lot, but don’t always have anything worthwhile to say. This solution helps Kat meet Heart’s need.

Sure, but what will happen when Heart asks a question?
