Earbud Etiquette

I would like to know your thoughts on earbud etiquette.  I have a set stuck in my ears most of the time, I am either listening to music, an audiobook or on a call.  If I am on a call and someone walks up to me and starts talking I let them know I am on a call.  If I am just listening to something I will take the ear bud out so people know they have my full attention.  I see people all the time the just leave them in and it bothers me because I don't know if they are listening to me or not.  It might be just a pet peeve of mine, like you should look at someone when talking to them.  Has anyone else noticed this, and if so how do you feel about it?
