Men are stubborn part 2
Jun 26, 2008 A day in our life
Speaking of stubborn men, or at least my stubborn man. Not only can men not ask for directions, but they also refuse to accept help with their cell phones. What’s up with that?
The other night Lee and I were laying in bed. I was reading (this fabulous book
It’s been more than two years since Lee upgraded to his Motorola Razr. A phone he had very bad luck with. He had that thing in the US Cellular shop so many times they started to recognize him. Eventually he convinced them to give him a new replacement phone. Not long after that Lee had yet another water accident with his phone. But this time it wasn’t a raft ride. This time it was the washing machine. I swear he’d lose his ass if it wasn’t attached to his legs. So we had to pay $50 for a replacement phone (because we have insurance on his phone). So the new phone worked well. For about a month. And then the screen started going blank whenever it felt the need…usually when Lee didn’t feel the need. Same problem as the old phone.
So it was time to upgrade. He decided to stick with Motorola mainly because we already have Motorola chargers and we’re cheap like that. But this time he decided on the Krzr…for a few minutes at least. As the girl was switching all his contacts (all seven of them due to the washing machine incident), Lee was eyeballing the Rokr. He’s just never satisfied.
When she was done transferring his contacts Lee took a look at his phone. The screen on the front was crocked. It was so weird. He pointed it out the girl helping us and she was floored. She’s never seen anything like that before. She told Lee she’d get him a new one, but she said, “Are you sure you want the Krzr or would you rather switch to the Rokr?” Lee was faced with a difficult decision and he couldn’t decide what to do. The Krzr? Or the Rokr? I said, “You better go with the Rokr. You know that’s what you want.” The sales girl agreed. So the Rokr it was.
Which brings us back to our bed the other night. Lee had downloaded some mp3 on his phone, but he couldn’t remember how to change his ringtone. He was looking under settings. He was looking under properties. He was looking every were but under sounds. I was about to lose my mind. I said, “give me the phone.” He refused.
By this tiime I had turned off my light and was laying down to go to sleep. He still couldn’t find the big bell that was staring him the face. But he refused to let me help him.
Finally after no less than 20 minutes he gave up. I grabbed the phone. Clicked on the big bell. Changed his ringtone and gave it back to him. All within about a 53 seconds.
That’s 20 minutes more of sleep I could have gotten if he just would have given me the damn phone when I asked for it. Men.
