Kitt 09/02/21 9:22:58 AM #1:	I can't tell you how many verbal spats I've gotten into because some completely random jackass got mad that I told him he can't use my phone. This happens so often that I think it's beyond just people forgeting their phones/being shitty at managing the battery charge on their phone. Sometimes I'll help someone out if they really need to make a call and ask me. I won't actually give them my phone obviously. I'll put it on speaker have them talk from there. Everything typically works out fine. But today, (as usual) this one fuck comes out of nowhere and asks to use my phone. It's whatever, so I tell him sure and that I'll put it on speaker. This dude looks all offended and storms away, bitching about how I'm "Doing too much". I can't stand people sometimes... --- I'm a little teapot blowing off steam. https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/p6Wfowq <cite>Kitt posted [p:957666382] in Is asking ...

The "I need to make a call" and "I am sorry I am trying to find the right number." Is a common scam. The two variations is.. them buying time to install malware on your phone or they are being paid to provide numbers to other scammer groups so they are calling those numbers and getting your phone flagged on their servers. Scammers get angry as a way to bully people who don't comply with their scams. Whatever their situation is I don't have over my phone to people. Like I said, if I do decide to help them out, I put it on speaker and we make the call from there. The number of assholes who believe they're entitled to "using" your phone and throwing a shitfit over it is hilarious. --- I'm a little teapot blowing off steam. https://imgur.com/pmc9XsI https://imgur.com/p6Wfowq <cite>Kitt posted [p:957666634] in Is asking ...

Jiek_Fafn 09/02/21 12:37:15 PM #17:	It happens to me fairly often on public transportation. Usually, I'll only do it if it's someone wearing like a medical bracelet and have all of their belongings in a bag or something. Even then, on a train I'm blocking them into their seat or something so they don't just run off with it easily. Generally, I just say "No, thank you" which doesn't make sense but gets the concept that im being dismissive across. --- PSN: Jiek <cite>Jiek_Fafn posted [p:957671207] in Is asking ...
