It’s 2026. Who doesn’t have a lock on their phone?
I just do it so she doesn’t catch me cheating.
Sounds dangerous:
I just don’t like being bothered, I use my phone when I want to use it, not the other way around.
Also, you should definitely lock your phone regardless.
My phone stays in do not disturb mode. I have several people as breakthrough exceptions, but my phone stays on vibrate so even they don’t get full ringers. Notifications for everything but calls and texts are turned off.
I am not hiding anything other than myself from having to deal with humans
You joke, but you’re not getting my grandma’s stuffed pepper recipe until we celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary.
I’ll save you the trouble, here’s the recipe for Tiral’s grandmother’s stuffed peppers.
Take the peppers
Stuff with tasty things
Cook them if you want
EatI tired this recipe, not the same. It’s missing a dash of love.
You married your grandma?
Damn. I didn’t even know my grandma had precious recipes…
They all do
If you can’t trust the people around you, why are they in your life?
Snooping on your partner’s phone seems to be pretty normalized on reality tv. I wonder if that has caused it. Seems pretty insane to me
Yeah like. I’ll google stuff on his phone if it’s within reach and mine’s not but like. I’m not combing through his messages or anything that seems exhausting. That seems like the most normal level of openness to me cuz he’s not afraid but I’m also not looking.
That’s probably because insecure morons make for the best reality TV, not really people I’d take life advice from. I guess other people do 🤷
I love absolute dogshit reality tv but it does make me worried that for sure a lot of people are looking at that garbage and thinking the stuff in it is normal
It’s the same with another popular video industry, people thinks that’s all normal and expect the same of their partners.
Can we talk about how stupid modern iPhones are? I can’t place it face down because the screen gets scratched. I can’t place it on its back because a camera lens is the resting point. To completely alleviate these concerns, I have to buy a phone case that costs half of the purchase price of the phone? I’m swapping to android for other reasons, but I will not miss the apple ecosystem for their design philosophy slowly becoming a fat load of garbage
The camera lens is coated with sapphire. You really don’t need to worry about scratching it.
Also yes, camera bumps are dumb.
If I’m setting it on the ground and on stone, I definitely do.
The fuck kinda dirt you got on your desks? Most modern high-end smartphones have really hard glass. If anything, the screen protectors people put on are much softer and get scratched easier (but are easily replaceable)
I’m also not sure where you’re getting 20-40€ modern iPhones for, but I’m quite jealous
This used to be true but recently they started cheaping out. My Samsung Swhatever it is had glass scratches within a month of my buying it. My friend and my partner both bought the same phone and had the same experience - we had never had screen scratches on phones for like 10 years prior, so the glass is definitely shitter. No idea about iPhones though.
I’ve been going caseless for years now. I just keep it in my pocket or on the charger 99% of the time. It has some minor microscratches from about two years of use, but I also don’t drop my phone and know not to drag it on its screen.
I’ve had one of my dozen or so phones over the years get a hairline crack, and I still used it for another year before replacing it due to performance. I honestly don’t know what everyone is doing to their phones, but I’ve been careful/lucky enough to not have to deal with the extra bulk. I personally can’t stand the way a case feels.

You’re either paying way too much for your cases or need to hook me up with your phone guy…
People selling cases make bank right after a phone is released. Cases are few and far between, and expensive to boot. Older phones have plenty of case options, all for fractions of the prices. If you absolutely must buy a new phone, look for the case online.
Buy used, always. Check Craigslist and other local sellers.
? My case was $12. Don’t be a sucker
They’re designed to have a case now
I don’t like it, but that’s why. You’re simply not supposed to use them without a case.
I will say though, I don’t know where you’re getting your cases from, but I swear by the Spigen ones, they’re usually £10-20 and I have bought one the day I buy a new phone for probably the past 10 years or so.
I’ve not smashed a screen since I started, I used to have to talk to insurance once a year before. That £15 every couple of years has saved me hundreds of pounds in insurance excess fees.
I don’t even use a screen protector
yeah, i only got a fancier-than-spigen case on this one because i wanted a better handle/stand for the phone, and my spigen ones i got just had cheap thin plastic for a kickstand that kept breaking. also my phone now has a slider that goes over the camera and that i think is pretty slick, and these racing stripes add wind resistance.
but spigens work pretty good
Smart phones. Cant live with them, cant live without them.
What is the deal with the smartphones?..
Slowly? Uhhhhhhh, been like that since day 1.
What? Are you genuinely saying that the Apple 1 and, slightly more topical, the original iPhone were bad devices? Because I can’t disagree with you any harder than I currently am.
I do all of those things because I don’t want to be bothered by it when i’m trying to sleep.
Gotta protect the blue waffle recipe!
Oh god
Two girls should share 1 cup of my grandmother’s blue waffle recipe. That’s for sure.
This is EXACTLY it.
I have my sound on, phone face up, idgaf about my grandmas recipes
