I always enjoy it when one person tries using another person’s cell phone. I have never seen someone try to open it, slide it, or activate the touch screen without a few seconds of panic followed by a “what the hell” or “show me how this damn thing works.”
I don’t know how, but there are more types of cell phones than there are people. You would think they are all intuitive, but they aren’t. Some people have buttons, some icons. One makes a call. Another turns it off. A third is only used as a shortcut for a something you find when you go into Settings > General > Alarm > Set. It is the AM/PM button or something. Other phones treat unlocking the touch screen like it’s a sobriety test. I’ve seen the same setup of buttons on phones with completely different interfaces.
The worst part is, whoever’s phone that is, sees you having trouble with it, rolls their eyes, takes it, somehow opens it a completely different way than you thought to, showing you how simple it is to use like you are some sort of infant. And, don’t start thinking yourself all high and mighty, If the tables are turned, you will be equally as big a douche.
...or maybe I just suck with phones.
