hello

so, there you are, the trip coming nicely along, walls starting to breathe, trees reaching out for hugs, you grab your mp3 player, manage to turn it on, reach in your backpack for the headphones, and BAM theres this huge blob of tumbleweed of wire instead, not only that but youre pretty sure its getting more and more complicated by the minute the more you stare at it (never noticed they had branches before... ). also, your fingers are all thumbs all of a sudden

how do you unentangle them?? or do you just give up??

i wish there were some wireless ear buds in the future....


personally, i just feel like im 3-4 years old again, ,looking at my shoelaces and trying to figure out how someone knots the damn things. then i back track, and pull on one wire with determination... its seriously a whole process :P
 
Headphone wires are the bane of my trips. First trip ever, it came out of the computer at 4a.m. and music poured down the hall, and I fumbled to put it back in for about a minute while my roommates stirred and FORTUNATELY didn't come check to find my high off my brain on DXM.
 
Lol, I had a crazy acid exp with tangled wires. I was trying to 'play it cool' sitting in a decently populated small St. Louis park while coming up haaaard on the LSD. I decided to switch hills within the park...'I must be drawing attention I tell myself...! They're onto me...!' Very fear and loathing-esque. So I pick up my laptop and my big floppy back pack and start across the park. After a few steps my headphones fell, while still held, the ear-pieces were danglin around by my legs...'too late to fix that now...! Mid-walk, I must continue casually, no one will know I'm tripping---' then the wires like wrap around my legs and I'm limping with like 3in of movement room for my entangled leg....lol, at that point I think it may've been noticeable I was in a weird state lol. Before then though just acid paranoia and f&l narration...lol, picture a kitten in a yarn-ball...but instead a long hair hippie high-schooler tangled in electronic wires basically crawling across a populated hill side with madly dilated pupils lol.
 
This happened to me with a 75-100ft extension cord! We had ran the cord from an outlet on the side of a house to my car but it was tangled and would not reach. Tripping pretty hard on acid the tangled cord seemed to slither around like a snake, when I finally picked it up untangling it seemed like a wayy too complicated task so I just let my friend give it a shot!
 
once on DXM i was too high to tie my shoelaces, every time i would try i would fall over. I'm quite skilled at untangling cords tho and find it's a worthwhile challenge while tripping pretty hard.
 
I hate that but luckily I got a pair of headphones with one wire!!! Smartest thing I've done. So when I'm tripping its all good :3 before though I would just give up or blast music in my room even if it was 3 in the morning :P
 
Lol funny posts here, good entertainment for me today hahaha.

Ive never really had this issue though i just wrap the lead around my JVC White foldable headphones (HA-S360) and then just undo it within 10 seconds , i wear them for k trips when i go outside lol
 
or tryna get the fucking jumper on with these goddam arm holes all over the place *??????????????????????*
 
sober or tripping, i've kinda given up on this one. if it's at all possible, i'll just put 'em on without even bothering to untangle them. kinda look ridiculous in public like that. oh well.
 
I just keep going. I get this problem a lot with MXE and Ketamine because with them I'm more often laying in bed with headphones in, and I usually forget to untangle them before the trip kicks in. It looks like a mess that'll never be untangled, but I just keep working, despite having no idea what the hell I'm doing or if its working - after a minute or two I'm left with untangled headphones :D trust the subconscious!
 
i get exactly the same feeling with tieing my shoes, doing a joint, or the must funny is inserting a balloon in small n2o cracker. its this challenges that makes the trips fun =D

Oh no, not joints. I hate rolling when tripping, at least with larger papers, it takes me so long, and then I end up spilling half of it and getting a friend to roll anyway ;)
 
at the end of a shroom trip once i was sitting at a bus stop to catch the last bus (centre of town). Lots of drunkards stumbling past me which creeped me out enough then i proceeded to untangle my earphones as my paranoia grew more and more. I must have looked like a real retard LOL.
 
Kingme, what would you think about changing this to the "Simple tasks that are inordinately difficult whilst tripping" thread or something to that effect (feel free to come up with a nicer way to say it)? It's a bit too narrow in scope to warrant a thread as is I think, but broadened it might be made a nice little niche of discussion.

I've never had too much trouble with headphones, but rolling cigarettes (or blunts/whatevs) is just fucking impossible. Fun to try though.
 
I've had difficult times figuring out how much money to pay the cashier, haven't had trouble with my headphones though, I ALWAYS keep them untangled.
And when I go out, I keep them wrapped around my ipod so they don't get tangled, I listen to music pretty much everywhere so I learn to be efficient.
MORE STORIES PLEASE :)
 
NKB, feel free to change the title to whatever you deem fit. in the beginning i was musing on the title annoying little things on acid. while tripping... or little things to remember to do BEFORE a trip (as they seem impossible later)

in that respect i can add a few stories eh :)

Not really. Not when you have precious little weed that you end up spilling all over the floor :\

Nowadays, I make sure to have all of these "little" things taken care of before I dose. "Little" things include stuff like joints rolled, music selected, lighting set(if applicable), other misc things. You get the idea ;)
 
Lol, I like this thread title....limited scope with that title, but its funny <3 I love it just the way it is. But then i'm no mod, so who am I to say?
 
this thread made me LOL a couple times :D

I've used the same "trust the subconscious" method as JG, ha. And in regards to joints, i usually give up & leave a partially crumpled paper & some broken up weed on the coffee table, only to laugh when i find it on the comedown & remember what an epic ordeal it was to get that far.
