Shenanigans

In my final year at high school I found a cellphone that somebody had accidentally left behind on the bus. Being the responsible young woman that I was, I texted the guy’s mother to let her know her son had left his phone on the school bus. She asked me to get in touch with the boy’s girlfriend, as she went to my school. I did, and we arranged to meet up after our first class.

Seizing the opportunity while we could, my friend Janine and I spent the whole of that class filling his phone with silly photos of ourselves. I had crutches at the time because I had torn the cartilage in my knee, so when we set one of the photos as his wallpaper it showed me pretending to shoot Janine with the end of the crutch.

We were very pleased with ourselves when we gave the phone to that girl afterwards.

P.S I must be a super good person, because as well as giving that phone back, I once found $75 just lying on the ground and took it in to the school office. Tooting my own horn here but man, I’m great.

Exciting and new

I just finished reading an article about mobile phone etiquette and the dos and don’ts involved. It was all pretty common sense stuff, so, understandably, there were a few comments underneath asking whether the article had been dug up from the 90s.

My favourite comment was this:

“This is just so timely. These new-fangled mobile phones may well catch on so it’s great to see Stuff so ahead of the game and giving us helpful hints for using them.”
