My cell phone is 5 years old. It is a special edition blue HTC One (M7.) It's starting to act like an old phone...sluggish and doesn't hold a charge. And because it is a unibody, I can't replace the battery. I have really loved this phone. I don't want to replace it. But I might have to. *sigh*
Getting a healthy fast food breakfast this morning, and I like to use my phone to 'tap-n-pay'. I believe this is much faster than inserting the card and forever waiting for it to read the chip.
So, I use the phone to bring up a promo code for this place and the promo code doesn't work, requiring a call to a manager. After that has been cleared, I switch over to the payment app, unlock it and hold it over the pin pad. My phone vibrates and says that I must enter my PIN. Okay, so I do that and hold the phone back over the pin pad, only to be told the pin pad has an error. Each time I put my phone close, it acts like it is trying to read the phone, but does not. When I pull my phone away, it acts like I just committed a crime!
After many attempts, it finally goes through. By then, my food is ready and I turn to leave. An elderly gentleman looks at me and points to my phone...
I was struggling to rearrange my pillow this morning when my hand slipped off and I almost gave myself a shiner. Just now I looked behind the bed to see if bunnyhead was back there (she was), but I thumped my head against the wall. If all goes to plan, I should be unconscious by noon.

That's one way to escape reality for a bit. Cheap, too!
I understand what you're saying. I found a pair of slide-on shoes in my closet yesterday and thought, "Why don't I ever wear these?" As I was walking out my front door, the shoe got caught on my rug and I nearly flung myself down the stairs of my porch. "Aha!" I thought to myself. "That's the reason I don't wear these stupid shoes." And then I continued wearing them and tripped on the rug on the way back into the house later that evening.
We missed our careers in slapstick comedy, SeaOfGrass.
Some years back I had this local lady I found online, make me these pants. See, I was going on vacation, to the beach. I had a vision of myself standing on a balcony or on the sand, these nice sort of thin cotton gauzy pants blowing in the breeze along with my long, dark hair. Yes, I had to have them. Clever woman, she made the white pair I ordered, and then she also made a gorgeous bright red pair as well, and I bought them on the spot.
I had decided I did not like the normal thing with "harem pants" or whatever, where they gather into an elastic at the ankles, I wanted them loose and flowing about my feet! Yeah...then I found out WHY they normally gather at the ankles. When I walk, barefoot or in sandals, my big toe manages to get hung in the shifting fabric of the opposite pant-leg, and nearly causes me to fall flat on my face. This has happened several times, often when I was trying to go up or down stairs.
So much for my lovely, graceful, blowing in the wind. More like simultaneously risking breaking a toe and taking a tumble.
Fantasy...always so much better than reality, I tell ya. *sigh*
