I've been accosted for wearing headphones in public a couple of times. Also for wearing them at work... in a large room of people who don't seem to comprehend things like 'quiet voice' and 'no speakerphones' with no privacy barriers. When my job is all email and trouble-ticket correspondence and no, well, phone conversation. And a minor neurological disorder which means I have absolutely no conversation with lots of people talking around me, because my brain tries to latch onto all of them at once, fails, and then to the next, et cetera (and I can't control that, which is why it's a disorder.) The phones keep me working. Mostly.
