In a modern contemporary society, if one is wearing head/earphones it is implied that they do not want to be disturbed.
If I have headphones on, you better have a bloody good reason to interrupt me. Side note: friends excepted.
Yes, I was interrupted again today. Like last time. And again in Mandarin. Which shouldn’t be spoken in the first instance to a stranger in a public place, like a university.
And yet, it is Asians who tend to interrupt other Asians first. Shame.
