    I got three different playa phones. One for each part-time shorty.

    But I really have a work phone that they pay for because I am absolutely not putting any work shit on my phone. No teams, no outlook, no workday, no authenticators, no emergency alerts. I think a guy who got fired was using it as a playa phone or porn phone. My boss said his data use was always maxed out and everyone else used roughly 1-2 GB.

    I only take it home on weekends on the rare case i want to check an email or request time off through workday. It does come in handy while camping/road tripping. I charge it up and turn it off then toss it in the glovebox as an emergency phone.

    We used to have pagers as recently as 2022 which seems way more sketchy for the time but i miss them. Always worked, only got important notifications, smaller.

    My wife basically did this to her racist grandpa one time. I think they were having dinner with friends and she goes “Gwampa, I have a question, is a ‘Jive-Ass Jigaboo’ the same thing as a ‘Jungle Bunny’?”

    It did not go over well with her grandpa’s friends lmao.

    Edit: My wife wanted me to add because I didn’t mention it originally that she was 15 when she did this. So she was 100% aware of the live grenade she was lobbing into this conversation. I was also misremembering a little of the context these people weren’t friends they were people related to her grandpa’s labor union basically he was trying to impress and really laying it on thick. One of whom was a black man. Hence it being this particular live grenade.

        Short version, Wife’s granddad was an old racist. Old racist granddad made wife mad. Old racist granddad wanted to impress some people. Wife casually asked old racist granddad about some super old super racist terms he said to her in front of said people to embarrass him in front of them.

    I used to have 2 phones just because I liked having an iPhone and an Android phone. Nobody believed me when I told them that I was genuinely just a tech enthusiast.

      There was a guy I worked with years ago who did the same. He always had the best android and the best iPhone. He liked to be the go to guy when you wanted a new phone or something.

        I have a work phone, a personal phone, one for my drug deals, one each for my 3 mistresses and a Nokia 3210 for playing Snake.

          if you use a google pixel with grapheneos, you can have multiple profiles that work similar enough to having multiple phones, with apps in each profile only being able to see what’s happening in that one profile, and if you close a profile every app in that profile is stopped completely

          I have thought about doing that. Do you use one for all your business apps?

      The implication that the child is mad the dad spanked then, so they is going to out the father as a cheater at the family diner. The second phone is for the adultery.

        I used to wonder who my dad was talking to out in the garage on the landline he had our there. Seemed to always make his way out there when mom was working or running errands.

        Hey dad, why do you have a word document hidden on the computer that lists things like “house” and “tools” with amount of money beside them?

        Record scratch

        Yep. That’s me. My whole life is about to get turned upside down - I just don’t know it yet…
