Music While Hitchhiking
Some people think that it goes almost without saying that you shouldn't have earphones in while standing next to the road, that it is inconvenient and dangerous as you hear less than normal and also very rude when drivers who take the time and effort to stop for you get the feeling your music is more important to you than they are. Other people think that it's a valuable way of raising your mood and passing quality time waiting, benefiting drivers as well as your mood rises. Just take them out when somebody stops.
