iPods on shuffle are like really shady ex boyfriends or girlfriends. Bear with me. Your iPod is this thing that you have a long-lasting relationship with (even if its new, you have had an iPod before, so I'm talking about like, a cumulative iPod). Like someone you date, your past is inextricably linked with your iPod.
When you put your iPod on shuffle, thats when they turn into a shady ex. All of a sudden its like you don't even know your iPod; like they don't even know you. They start making grotesque assumptions about you- like that you want to listen to Coldplay after LMFAO or that at nine in the morning, "Levels" by Avicii is something you would like. Your relationship is entirely changed. Your iPod is a totally different person, a really weird person who you would never want to spend more than five minutes with.
Putting your iPod on shuffle is like seeing an ex without your relationship goggles off. Not all exes, but the embarrassing ones. Its all the worse because its a reflection of yourself in a lot of ways. You remember that at one point you payed money to put Lil' John on your iPod. It was something you wanted. Similarly, the iPod on shuffle is a choice you made. You put yourself there and you must suffer the consequences.
