I don't understand some people. Maybe it's the ADHD?

Like, I'll text them "Should I bring something to the party?"

They'll immediately reply, "Sure. How about wine?"

I'll immediately reply, "Cool. What kind?"

And then no answer. For hours.

I can only assume that they threw their phone in the river as soon as they sent their text message. Maybe it was overheating.

If I try to call my SO or my mother, I have less than 20% chance of an answer. I have no idea why they have cellphones.

[-] MagnyusG@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

This is my whole family, they're glued to their phones whenever I'm around, but if I'm at work and I need to call one of them I have to ping pong all their phone numbers until one of them picks up, and even then sometimes they don't.

[-] BossDj@piefed.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

The trick is to send a text asking a simple question. Then once they answer, immediately reply "actually can I call to ask about it?"

[-] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I have same damn issue and I pay for all the phones.

My wife has a sixth sense of knowing when I'm on the toilet.

I can quietly go about my day, no one ever calls or wants me .... enter the toilet, pull my pants down, in the process of doing my business and the phone rings. Not every time I go to the toilet ... but just about every time she calls, I'm on the toilet. It's uncanny.

Then she gets mad at me for not answering right away or ignoring the call. I always call her back and ask her how she knows when I'm on the toilet.

Same with my dad and sister, except she would only call if he was on a ladder or in heavy traffic or on hold, or otherwise unable to safely take a call.

I'm not making excuses for anyone, but I've accidentally done this. On my phone and messaging app, if I read a text and leave the conversation open (not exiting the thread and the app) I won't get any further notifications from that person no matter how much they text. I'm sure it's a setting somewhere, but the setting is dumb. Like, surely I don't want a bunch of pings when I'm actively conversing with someone and looking at the app, but leaving the thread open and the screen off "should" still get a notification, even if the app is open under my lock screen.

She's at my place

[-] jim3692@discuss.online 1 points 3 weeks ago

Are you at your place?

Are your “(TikTok screenshot)” memes supposed to have any sort of comprehensibility or are they instead just meant to be word salad and non-sequitors without premise?

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

it's perfectly comprehensible to me

someone's girlfriend sits on her phone 24/7, but somehow consistently fails to pick up a call when her partner calls to double check something on the grocery list, with the joke being that her phone disappears into a black hole when that happens

[-] s@piefed.world 0 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

If the joke relies on that much of an assumption about a fringe scenario, then that context should have been provided within the joke. For example, the appositive “her” has no reference noun and therein no information about her connection to the joketeller.

In a similar vein of lacking context, can you explain this joke?

"A dog walks into a tavern and says, 'I can't see a thing. I'll open this one'."

It's a funny relatable thing that happens. It's happened to me enough times trying to get ahold of my wife. Obviously it's common enough that this post was made and upvoted.

[-] s@piefed.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

It’s relatable to only a small percentage of people (fraction of people who are interested in relationships with women, subset people who are in relationships with women, subset people whose women partner is phone obsessed, subset people who cannot independently shop for groceries, subset people who while grocery shopping have had their women partner fail to answer her phone, subset people who have this happen routinely or significantly enough to even notice or care). You will see others saying that it’s relatable but that will just be confirmation bias.

And for each person who has experienced this, they only once could have experienced it as the image describes since black holes do not relinquish the matter they absorb. Who even would be in a relationship with somebody who is both on their phone 24/7 and be short distance enough to share groceries? The hyperbole is too literal and becomes nonsensical rather than comedic.

[-] vithigar@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago

Multiple of your fractional subsets don't apply. It doesn't have to be a woman, doesn't need to be a "relationship" as typically meant by the term, and didn't hinge on some strange inability to "independently shop for groceries".

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 0 points 3 weeks ago

Happens to me all the time. Wife non-stop staring at her phone, unreachable when I call needing something extra from the store. It's almost uncanny how relatable this is.

Who doesn't call their SO at the store? "Shit, forgot to ask her to get beer."

[-] s@piefed.world -1 points 3 weeks ago

The joke is so poorly phrased that you inverted the roles of who is shopping
