I disagree that’s the point. The point is generally to distract oneself or to keep focus. Neither of these two reasons preclude the willingness to stumble into s.o. actually worthwhile.
Whether earphones are supposed to serve as a sign to keep away depends on the culture and gender. In the States, for instance, people are way more often stopped by s.b. on the street than in Europe. The idea that s.b. would try to sell s.th. or preach to you on your path almost every day is very foreign to most Europeans.

Who’s sb?
I think I have cracked their completely unnecessary code
s.o. Someone s.b. Somebody s.th. Something
I hate it. I hate all of it.
Same here, man.
My entire day is ruined.
Oh, I thought s.o was Significant Other, i.e. a partner, and my reaction was “Yeah, the chances of that happening are practically zero”.
Someone who tried to sell you s.th
Honestly no idea
I don’t know but my brain wants it to be “some bastard”
Starbuck wouldn’t try to sell swamp thing!
S.o. meaning significant other?
