Today, my mother threw away my brand new headphones. She saw them on the couch with duct tape on the wires and assumed they were "old, broken, and cheap." I put the tape there to avoid damaging the wires. FML

Why do people assume it's okay to just throw things out without asking? I hope she buys you new ones, OP.

Did you respond to her with "YOU'RE old, broken, and cheap!"?

Even if they were old, the fact that there was duct tape on them should have suggested they were worth fixing...

Uhhhh why would you use duct tape, of all things? That gets extremely sticky and disgusting after a while and would ruin your wires if you try to take it off.

One thing you can do is not leave your headphones laying around...or explain why you did that...she should understand...

I hope they weren't really expensive like Bose or Seinheiser. Also NEVER use duct tape on headphone wires that shit will wreck them, if you feel you need to protect them electrical tape or masking tape

Your mom must be a 'love cleaning' woman

YDI should be cleaning up after yourself :)

Kinda makes you wish you tidied your stuff up Lesson learnt

Dont leave your stuff out and dont duct tape them unless there broken

Maybe next time you'll put them in your room where they belong instead of leaving them on the couch.

When things both good and garbage get left all over the house, it can get hard to tell the difference. YDI
