Questionable Quotebook by Sam Hepburn for June 25, 2023

My phone can’t get to 2%. It’s a wall mounted rotary dial phone:

Is that 2% battery, or 2% signal?

I’ve long maintained that the true generational divide is how panicked you get when your phone gets to 20%. If it doesn’t, you’re old; if your answer is “very”, you’re middle aged, and if you don’t notice you’re young.

Does having a massive ‘juice box’ in his sling bag knock his status down at bit?

Now, that’s what I call an optimist!

Pshaw. I often get in my car and travel hundreds of miles with very low phone battery.

As soon as the radio connects to the phone and warns me of the low battery, I cue “Bad to the Bone” and “Born to be Wild”.

I only got stranded at night, with heavy rain, four times.

I did this once while wander through a skeezy neighborhood. The phone battery was horrible and the job interview was a scam. I found a nice sandwich shop, through.
