I don't make the news, I just report it (LOL). Maybe they don't require
interaction to be paired with. I've seen some devices that'll pair with
anything that asks them to, including keyboards. Boy does that get wacky
when two keyboards are typing into the same computer!

Why would they have their Bluetooth earphones switched on and in
pairing mode? Strange.

Someone I know had the exact opposite problem. Their Bluetooth
earphones started sounding off from inside their backpack when their
phone wasn't on, playing music they would never play! Turned out
someone in the next cubicle from theirs had paired their device with
my friend's earphones without knowing it!

I have to share this story, in case any of you have the same
trouble. Twice in the last two weeks, I’ve had situation where my
phone suddenly has no sound output. It happened this morning and,
until I figured out the problem, I had totally forgotten a similar
thing had caused the problem two weeks ago, right as I had called
for an Uber. I was thinking that my 6S phone was giving up the
ghost on me. At least with today, I has some plug in earbuds and
could successfully hear with those, but unplugging them resulted
in silence. After several resets of the phone and plugging it back
in, I was about to resign myself to having to rely on earbuds for
the rest of my phone’s existence, when I noticed my Bluetooth
earbuds on a nearby table. Yes, it turns out that the night
before I had forgotten to turn off my Bluetooth earbuds. When my
corded earbuds were plugged in, the sounds worked fine, but as
soon as I unplugged the cord, the sound was going to the earbuds
across the room. Phew. When I discovered this, I recalled that
two weeks ago, as I was waiting for the Uber and my phone stopped
speaking, I had later discovered that the bone conduction headset
in my backpack was getting turned on by something pressing on the
power button. Pretty scary when you cannot see the screen and
think the phone has flat out died! Hoping a few of your can get
a laugh with me about this and keep it in the back of your head,
should it ever happen to you.
