I settled down with my he350's to listen to a play. Halfway through, the doorbell went so I turned off and went to answer.
No one there. I thought it might be a nutter.
Went back to my play, rewound the bit I missed and the doorbell went again, so I rushed to the front door.
No one!!!
Back to play... rewind and doorbell went. I waited and then realised ........
It was part of the play!!!!!!!!

I'd hoped it might be your missing chauffer. I'm beginning to fear the worst...

The daftest bit was I was actually getting angry.

I had the same thing happen with some knocking in the background of an album. I was wondering what kind of idiot would be wandering around my neck of the woods (literally) and rapping on my windows! Those AKG s can really throw the sound around.

If this is what happens to you normally I would strongly urge you to NEVER DO DRUGS while wearing headphones.

If you ever saw me as 'normal' Gordon you might advise me to just drink milk!!! I look like a garden gnome but have the temperament of a looney. It has always got me into trouble throughout my life!! I was more annoyed at having to keep getting up and then I was annoyed at myself for being so easily fooled!!! One of the looniest things I did was when I was a student and performing live shows in Chelsea. I used to walk home across the bridge, but not on the bridge, but on the handrail. Normally after a few pints. Thames on one side and the road on the other!! The police came one night and were so 'surprised' that they were frightened of letting a siren off to make me get down in case I lost my balance. Even they laughed when I got down and said, 'Good job you didn't set the siren off!!!' I'm very sensible now (most of the time) but unfortunately I have done some very daft things in the past. I blame it on the company that I kept. Musicians are totally bonkers, believe me... When I started to teach, the kids and the staff were quite frightened of me as well. Quite funny, but everyone considered me still a looney and I felt that it was them..... If you've ever seen the film, The Burbs' I felt like Tom Hanks .... I couldn't decide who was mad either, the kids, staff or me!!! Teaching really wasn't for me; even college students. Drove me nuts while I drove them nuts ..........

I have had that happen with the T.V. I run the sound through an amp and pair of bookshelf speakers. I was in the kitchen and the doorbell went off. No one at the door. Thought it was one of my students playing a prank. Happened two more times before I realized it was a show on the T.V. I actually went out on my court at one point and started yelling. Neighbors probably thought I was looney.

My neighbour's think I'm mental as soon as they hear what I'm listening to if they visit me!!
I was once playing The Rite of Spring by Stravinsky, when a neighbour turned up. First thing he said was, 'When are they going to actually start?'
