Subject: Do You Listen To Music While You Are...?
Written By: Hairspray on 05/10/02 at 07:54 a.m.
Doing Chores
On The Computer
Doing Homework
At Work
Eating Meals At Home
Jogging/Walking/Exercising
In The Classroom (Is That Even Allowed?)
I would say all of the above, but that would make this question pointless because I suspect if given the chance most people would do the same. So, as my main times I would have to say while doing chores and exercising. I absolutely can't do vigorous work without music. I wouldn't even think of it.

I like to crank up some Rock when I'm cleaning my house...sometimes when I'm on the computer as well. I don't like to listen to music when I'm on a run though, I'd rather listen to nature...and cars if they need me to know thier closing in :o

I would say sometimes when doing chores, on the computer, and at work. I usually don't have homework. If I'm exercising, it's at the gym where music is always being played.
Meals at home - I'm usually watching TV.

No.
Yes, sometimes.
What homework?
Sometimes, but not often.
No, I used to.
Ditto.
It wasn't allowed, but some did anyway.

doing chores: yes, sometimes...depending on if the chore is inside or out or if there's something interesting on tv.
on the computer: not really...usually watch tv.
doing homework: no homework anymore, but when i had it...no...i'd keep the tv on for noise, but if i had music on, i'd get more distracted by it because i'd sing along all the time.
at work: well, we have music pumped through a speaker system at work, so i can't help but listen to crappy music all day (i work in a grocery store).
while exercising: well, i don't exercise that much...sometimes i walk, but i lost my walkman and i'm too cheap to get a new one, so i walk with the sounds of nature instead.
in the classroom: as with homework, i no longer deal with classrooms, but when i was in high school, my art teacher always had music going. we listened to a little bit of everything.
and to add to your list of where i listen to music...i usually have music going in the car and when i take a shower.

I almost always listen to music while I'm commuting, on the bus and walking to and from work.
I always listen in the morning as I am getting ready for work and I have it on all night, too.
Sometimes I listen while I'm on the computer. Whether it's the actual radio, or an internet radio staion, will depend on how good my dial-up connection is on that day.
At work, almost everyone has a small, pocket-sized radio at their desk. Everyone listens to a different station, so I never know what the air currents are going to bring to my desk. I've been too lazy to bring in my own radio so far.
As far as doing chores, I only listen to music when I'm cleaning the bedrooms and the bathroom. Everywhere else is too close to the tv.

Doing Chores- Yes I do, and I make sure I pick the loudest music I have, so I can tick off the neighbors.
On the Computer- I just installed KaZaA, so yes I do.
Doing Homework- Nope, I get too distracted (I'm taking an at home course for Medical Insurance).
Eating Meals- No, I watch television or read.
Exercising- When I walk, no. When I do aerobics, yes.
In the Classroom- I don't go to school. When I was in high school though, my World History teacher let us listen to the radio.

How funny. I was just the opposite. When I was in high school (which was many years ago) I would have to have background music on while I did my Math homework. That was the only way I could get it done! lol

The school and homework related times were given as a choice for those in highschool (we have a few members in that category) and college. ;)

I listen to music while I clean out since it tends to take some of the drudgery out. Other than that, it's pretty random.

I just listened to a great radio station on my computer WOXY in Oxford, Ohio. Nothing but modern rock, alt rock and techno. I recommend it even if you're not a Miami University student.

I'd have to say yes to all except eating. I even listen in the shower! Music is such a big part of my life. Most days I take a discman with me to college to listen to while on the bus and walking in. Some people even listen to them in class, and cover the earphone up with their hair or hand (They usually get caught though!). At my part-time job, music is on most of the time on the. MTV is usally on the TV and the radio is always playing.

Doing Chores: Sometimes, if my daughter will let me. Usually I put her in front of a movie so she will let me clean.
At the Computer: No, I usually get on when she is watching cartoons.
Homework/Classroom: Not in school...when I was I did turn on the radio when I did homework.
At Work: Depends on my mood. I either listen to the radio or listen to books on tape.
While Eating: No, usually eat in front of TV.
While Exercising: No, I usually ride my recumbant bike while watching tv. It makes the time go by faster because I am not paying attention to what I am doing. Slightly OT...I just got this bike, and if you really want a workout, try one. I could feel the burn.
