You probably already thought of this but in case you didn’t, have you tried playing music and listening for the earbud?

I think the battery is dead now! (And also they don't really activate until they're in your ears. I don't understand how they work!)

But when you buy another pair, you'll have a spare earbud!

Truly, may this strike end for y'all soon. It's so absurd and gross, the greediness on display from the powers that be in this situation. They have *nothing without writers. They should be feeding you grapes and fanning you with palm fronds while you work. Instead, they're sneering at you for not being grateful for the coins and crumbs they fling.

Wouldn’t it be “with a Shoe on”?

the laws of the land state that you'll find that earbud the same day you pay for a new pair.

Have you looked in the vacuum cleaner?

Re: the missing ear bud: Whether they’re falling out of your ears, getting covered in ear wax (just me?), or allowing you to listen to music through the ether while you don’t have to hold the radiation emitting phone to your head, they’re both simultaneously annoying & amazing. My wife has “reverted” to her wired headphones as her primary hands-free listening tool. It’s almost as good - as in horseshoes & grenades.
