My phone is still trying to kill me. It has stopped telling me, "DROID!" at random intervals but it had some sort of dirty interface with my computer and now -- I kid you not -- my laptop chirps, "I win!" in an excited voice. I can't tell why my laptop is so chipper but it can't possibly be good for me. And this all started after I discovered that I can charge my phone using a USB cable or port or something, and I plugged it into my laptop. Minutes later it claimed victory. I don't know if maybe it is like a praying mantis and, after enticing my phone to mate with it, it ate my phone's head off? All I know is, my laptop is quite sure it won and my phone no longer belches "DROID!"
I'm not even kidding about any of this.
Then when Miss A used my phone to speak with my mom tonight, twice something happened where it was as though she muted the line, except not completely. ?? I don't get it either. And even worse? I couldn't figure out how to get back to the main screen of my phone, so I could, I don't know, poke at various icons in the hopes that it would help.
I couldn't even figure out how to hang up so I could just call my mom back and start over again. Finally my mom did that. On her cell phone. That she also knows how to text from. But then it happened again.
I am pretty sure this is because I am almost 36 and therefore the robots are coming for me. They need my medicine for fuel.
I also don't know how to set the clocks in our cars. I leave them alone until Jason gets to it. And when Jason tries to tell me how to reset the router when I have internet troubles, all I hear is "boring boring boring unplug so the robots can get you boring."

ReplyDeleteOr should I say, I WIN!!
Try to disable the bluetooth on your phone and laptop, that may solve your winning problem. The mute thing? Check for tiny little volume controls on the side of your phone, mine have 'quick controls' there and I am guilty of holding my phone so that I press them by accident.
ReplyDeleteAs far as the router? My BIL is an IT guy, I was 'repairing' my connection and typing in my key when he walked by my computer and unplugged the router, "it's easier if you do it this way," he told me, so I think you're onto something there. :)
I know how to reset the router only because I had no choice. Other than that I looked at the phones they make for grandparents - no joke. The only reason I didn't get one was that the middle button (the one you are most likely to randomly push because it is so big) takes you to the internet where they will charge you gobs of money to just see the internet.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you need a geekster excorcism?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what made me laugh harder, the clip or your post. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for simultaneously making me laugh out loud and scaring me sh*tless. I ordered an iPhone this weekend and now I'm afraid for it to arrive. It may try to kill me or at the very least confuse the crap out of me!
ReplyDeletethat is so funny. i think your phone might have a virus and it has spread to your laptop. i'm not kidding. that is so funny and weird.
ReplyDeletewell at least you have the knowledge to write this post.
ReplyDeletei, on the other hand, have no idea what you just said.
