The 3pm bus at 5th and Main made me ditch my noise cancelling headphones

I sat behind this guy arguing with his bank on speakerphone for 12 blocks, and instead of tuning out I started counting how many times he said 'representative' and honestly the rhythm of it became kind of calming. Has anyone else found that a random annoying sound can turn into a weird focus tool if you lean into it?

Next level meditation right there... pretty sure counting 'representative' beats counting breaths any day. Might have to start setting up fake bank arguments in my living room for focus time.
