I’m fucking dumb as shit. to start im slowly going blind and my vision is blurring so I need glasses but I refuse to wear em because I think I look goofy with them on. So one day I buy me some earphones and liking them so much I brought a second pair just in case I lose them. Labeling them as (insert headphone Brand) (New) and (Old) so I can tell them apart. And at some point both of them started only working on one ear phone and I was contemplating throwing them away because I might have messed them up when I was sleeping when them on so today I looked closely at my earphone and realized I had the wrong fucking pair in the same case. So one (new) earphone (left) and one (old) Earphone (right) was in the same case on both ends. I felt so stupid and to make it worse the rubber ear pieces are different so god knows how I missed it, probably because they looked blurry to me.

TLDR: thought both my earphones were broken when they only worked on one side FOR 2 MONTHS MIND YOU and turns out I had them in the wrong cases
