I'm well known for being a technophobe, who refuses to use a phone so my parents gave me one the other day so I can actually communicate with them.
I got my friends numbers from my old sim card (they are also technophobes though.) And when I texted one of them they replied back with who are you? So I was like 'Oh, your friendly neighbourhood Sarah' and they replied back with 'No, seriously, who are you?"
It wasn't my friends number at all...
It was her old one that had been blocked and then reused - I hope, because otherwise it was someone from school and that would be worse.
But still.... I'm so embarassed gonk
Please reassue me by telling me of your phone disasters.

this isn't my phone disaster, but the story's so funny, i like to tell it.
one of my friends was visiting wisconsin. while there, she, of course, needed to talk to her friends so, while texting a buddy from the car-ride somewhere, she saw a cow. to tell her friend this, she tried to text him "I just saw a cow, it was cool." unfortunately, she was using predictive text and before she realized what she'd written, she sent him this message: "i just saw a boy. it was book."

I used to feel the same way. But I got used to cell phones now and I love them. I can call anybody anywhere from Michigan and it's free. I like talking to people on the phone that I get along with on the internet sometimes, it's cool- you know, sharing your life.
My most embarrassing phone story (since you asked) is when I was a little boy somebody thought I was a doctor on the phone. I was so shy and well 'emo' about it that I hung up and cried about it in my room for hours. They called me ma'am and everything! That's not something you do to a guy lol talk about a blow to the male ego.

i've been mistaken for every single other person in my family on the phone at one time or another. man, that's sucked. there's maybe about four people that can always tell it's me right off the bat. and i'm always amazed.

I live above a pharmacy and at night the calls get diverted to our house. They sell loads of cameras and phones online and one customer had been told she could ring the shop number for help. So at 11 at night this woman rang up thinking it was customer services and there I was at the other end yelling for my Dad to come answer the phone because there was some random person at the other end!
XD

*pets my blackberry storm*
I love cellphones. I've never once had an issue with any cell phone I've had. (except things I can't help about it like the microphone going out on one, that pissed me off) Its more funny watching my mom use the storm, she has one too we got them 2 for 1. her eyesight is awful and the screen is hard for her to see and everything is like four times the size of the font on my phone. and it just made me laugh really hard.

i have one of those really old nokias. they're just solid bricks of pure technology. i love it! seriously, it can get dropped in a puddle, run over by a car, struck by lightning, anything! once, i threw it at the ground to prove that it can't break. the only thing that happened to it was a button on the keypad popped off.
plus, i have service EVERYWHERE. when traveling between towns for school activities and competitions, we use the ferries (archipelago and all). there's no service from when we leave port to when we get in for everyone except me. with my antenna up, i have a good two bars of service in any given place. m/_(>.<)_m/

Old things are way more resilient.
In the old days TVs were actually MADE to last for years. Now they're made to last for about 2 years.

exactly! things used to be made for quality and long-lasting, but now they're made to be thrown away after you use them. disposable cameras, disposable digital cameras, disposable everything. what is this world coming to?
