My Hang-Happy Phone and the Many Ways It Tried to Ruin My Life

My Hang-Happy Phone and the Many Ways It Tried to Ruin My Life

Look man, I don't hate anyone. I’m a chill guy. But if there’s one thing I’ve truly considered throwing from a rooftop and smiling while doing it—it’s my ancient Android phone.

This phone isn’t just old. It’s disrespectfully old. Like… the kind of old that still has those 3-second loading bars when you open the gallery. The kind of old where every single app update feels like a near-death experience.

And it doesn’t just hang. No, no. It waits. It chooses the worst, most soul-crushing moment possible to freeze up and act like a spoiled brat with attitude problems.

The Vibration Lie That Ended My Peace

So my girlfriend was mad. Again. She was like, You ignore my calls. Don’t lie. I know you saw them.

Me, full confident idiot mode: No babe, my phone was on vibration. I didn’t hear it.

She gives me that scary calm smile and says, “Really? Let’s test that. I’m calling you right now.

She calls. My phone? Silent. Like a grave. Not a buzz, not a beep. It just laid there like a dead fish.

She stared at me like I murdered her childhood dreams. I stared at the phone like it was possessed by my enemies. I tried to fake a smile. She blocked me for three days.

Thanks, phone. Love you too.

The Public Transport Scandal

So I’m in this cramped, sweaty bus. Traffic is locked. People are melting. I think, Alright, let's scroll Facebook. Maybe there’s a cat video or some cricket meme.

I open the app, scroll a little—and BAM—an ad pops up. Not just any ad. A freaking dating site ad with a half-naked couple smiling like they’re selling sin.

Before I could even breathe, I panicked and tried to close it. Guess what? Phone hanged. Screen stuck.

Sitting next to me: an 80-year-old grandma. She turned her head sloooowly and stared at my screen, then at me, then back at the screen.

I tried to power off. Nothing. Tried to hide it. Nope. Tried to explain. She wasn’t even asking.

I don’t think she saw the ad… but in my heart, I know she judged me harder than God on Judgment Day.

Every Time I Try to Sell It

Every time this phone hangs, I say the same thing:

That’s it. You’re finished. I’m selling you today. No mercy. Gonna give you to some annoying kid for free.

I open OLX. Phone hangs again. I sigh and whisper, Okay, maybe tomorrow.

Repeat cycle. Every. Single. Week.

It’s not just a phone. It’s a lifestyle of pain.

Sometimes I feel like this phone is emotionally attached to me. It knows when I’m vulnerable. It knows when my life depends on it. And that’s exactly when it chooses to ruin me.

But I still carry it. Because it charges fast. And... I can’t afford a new one.

So yeah. If you ever see a guy in Karachi screaming at his phone on a bus, or whispering threats to it in the corner of a tea shop... that’s me.

Say hi. Just don’t ask me to open Facebook. 🥴🫡🤒📱
