#phone rant

[jam-and-marmalade]

These pictures all actually come from a date I went on last year to an agricultural fair :3 I really wish I could use that flip phone more. Unfortunately it's really hard to navigate modern cities without phones so I just brick mine with endless forest timers and custom block lists so that I can still get around on public transport and use maps and QR codes or whatever.

I hate my phone sometimes. Stupid thing is way too sensitive and clicks stuff when I’m only scrolling. Then it goes and refuses to click on things even when I put my finger directly on the item multiple times. Not to mention the idiocy that autocorrect produces.

*Sorry. Just needed to vent. You may now return to your regular content. I’m going outside to touch grass*

Setting up a new phone is always a pain.

I miss when I could root it and use a backup tool.

Now the best we have is Smart Switch. :/

Am happy I got the phone I wanted though.

Removable storage

Removable battery

5g support since I'm paying for it anyways

So hard to find phones with that nowadays.

[fhistle]

smh all phone manufacturers after 2017 know is discontinue support, planned obselecense, package bloat / adware, add cameras, create new account, eat hot chip and lie

Sometimes I wonder how my mum deals with my antics. Then the sass comes through and I remember.

I wasn't even the problem child. My family is weird.

I’m so fucking pissed off with the American cell phone system

PAYG is basically non-existent (I use payg in the UK and I pay £10 a month for 2GB of data and unlimited calls and texts)

Everything is SO expensive. You guys are being ripped off.

NOne of the websites make sense

Verizon & AT&T say they have international student deals for SIMS but when follow the links THERE IS NOTHING THERE or they say I’m not eligible, which is weird, considering I am an international student . . .

What is this prepaid nonsense they keep trying to sell me???

I’ve accepted I’m gonna have to get a contract instead of payg, but all of your contracts are ridiculously expensive. 

I seriously fucking hate this backwards system.

To The Woman Turning Out of the Mall Behind Me - A Rant

You know, I’m okay with people cutting me off in traffic I’m okay with people not using their blinkers to merge lanes in bumper to bumper traffic. I’m even okay with the fact that it takes me an hour to get to my job every day even though, technically, it should only take me 20 minutes.

But what I can’t STAND IS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO ARE SO ENTITLED TO THINK THAT THEY NEED TO GET TO THEIR DESTINATION RIGHT THIS VERY MOMENT AND WHO ARE SO. DAMN. RUDE. ABOUT IT.

THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN TWO. SECONDS. AGO. AND I WAS LOOKING TO SEE IF TRAFFIC WAS COMING INTO MY LANE.

You know,

THAT THING YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN YOU’RE TURNING RIGHT ON A RED???

Also, Atlanta: 1. Sticking your hand out of the window with a thumbs up while you are MERGING INTO MY CAR without the proper right of way IS NOT HOW YOU GAIN RIGHT OF WAY. 2. TURN. YOUR. BRIGHTS. OFF. You are not on a foggy mountain road in Virginia. You are not wont for light sources. TURN THEM OFF.

And I swear on every driver’s manual that ever came to be, if another person leans on their horn in regard to what I’m doing with MY life and MY road safety, I will stop in the middle of traffic, get out of my car, find your address, and destroy everything you have ever loved.

Have a nice day.
