Passenger wants to use my phone

This board is in incredibly desperate need of a pun-groan emoticon of some sort.

Like at The Place (aka Callahan's), Pedersen will be able to identify a truly grate pun by the sudden drop in the "Currently Active Users" count, as everyone flees the cheesecutter for the world.

*grins* I had an Xperia Play, which if you don't know it, is the Playstation phone. I had someone ask to borrow it and I slid out the D-Pad and said, "Not a phone. It's a new hand held gaming system."

Cool phone and not made anymore, IIRC. One of my coworkers has one and she uses it constantly. She's cracked her screen now but it's still going - sadly she can't get a new model.

Correction: Googled and it's still around - just blue ball wireless doesn't have the updated model available for our area. Bwuah?

Not really an emoticon but you mean something like this?

At least nobody tried to Force-choke my ass

Force-choking your ass would be kind of pointless. Most people would go for the neck. /captainobvious

... kind of pointless...

If sustained long enough, the results are hilarious... Explodes, protege does, in a shower of soil-toned WisdomNuggets™.

I don't let ANYONE use my phone but myself!

I have to pay for the minutes, and there are roaming charges. And anyone who can afford to give me $20 to make up for it can easily afford a PAY PHONE for their own personal use.

Go buy your own damn phone and stop harassing me for mine

I skipped from first page to fourth page of the thread, read this, and was immediately on the Nope Train concerning reading the rest of the thread, because I know only too well how the thread arrived at this point.

If you can't take the bleach, get out of the bitchin'.

A good one, as is this...


but a quickly typed smiley would be better

: pungroan:

I envision something like a cross between the 'Rolling' and the 'Roll Eyes' ones we have now.

Hi-speed degenerative etymology. (and smart move, Dent.)

Seriously, I don't let passengers handle my phone (any more). If they need to make a phone call, I dial for them and put the phone on speaker.

I did this once. Night, poor girl just got off a train, showed me her dead phone, no pay phones around. Her family wasn't there to pick her up.

I *67’d though. (Blocked my number)

Not a phone but I did let a custy use my phone charger--he needed some info from home and his batteries were going fast. Needless to say, that device never left my sight.

That's a bit different, for me anyway. I have no problem letting them use my charger because, due to where the plug is in the car, it's practically impossible for it to go running away. (The (detachable, cheap) cord perhaps, but not the charger itself.)

Although I haven't hung out there since before Speaker To Minerals died, I still remember how in the Other Place (alt.callahans), people reacted to awful puns by throwing virtual peanuts at the paronomasiac.
