@Lynnerizer@tinamarie1974 I had a student who kept their phone, keys, wallet and other junk in their bra… Well one day leaning over (they were in the front row) to pick up something she had dropped everything fell out. And I mean everything. Including her boob. Good thing no guy walked into class at that moment in time and the people on either side of her were women.
@ahacksaw@nogoodwithnames Nope, you are not the only one who is baffled. It made me briefly wonder where the poll writers keep their phones that “shifting” is a problem. Then I quickly decided that I didn’t want to know.
My son makes fun of me because I buy sleek beautiful iPhones and slap them in Otterbox defenders. I think mine is blue? (He also makes fun of me because I buy iPhones.)
@Kyeh@sammydog01 AND NO FECKING CURVED FACE WITH EDGE-TO-EDGE TOUCH SENSITIVITY!. FFS, some of these idiotic POS phones seem designed solely to force you to buy an accessory that makes them possible to use, or else go mad trying to get the goddamn thing to NOT do unwanted crap continually! (This is the one place where I consider Apple to be far and away out in front on design.)
I harness the power of gravity to make my phone stick to flat surfaces. It seems like magic, but no: it’s science. I call this advanced technique “Putting Down” an item.
@806D2701 I have a flat charger on a flat desk, and my flat phone just sits on top of it without moving - because gravity. Then I thought: “But what if I had to go to space and take my phone and Qi charger?” But I realized that it would still work (given that I had someplace to plug it in) because the charger uses an electromagnetic field. The phone would stick to the charger while they both floated around - because magnet.
Gravity.
I keep it in my bra
@tinamarie1974
ME TOO!!

@Kidsandliz @tinamarie1974
That’s hilarious! Being a teacher you must have LOTS of good stories! That would be great great book, Stories of a teacher!
Sedentary lifestyle.
Hydraulic press.
I put it in my pocket? Or in a cup holder in my car? I feel like I should look into this cement idea
By keeping it in my bag and praying to the traffic gods I don’t get cut off.
The fuck does that even mean?
@nogoodwithnames Thank you. I was wondering if I was the only one baffled by the question. My phone mostly… stays still?

@ahacksaw @nogoodwithnames
Boring phone.
@blaineg @nogoodwithnames I’ve tripped teaching it to dance, but it just talks back to me.
Staples. Just like antlers on mice.
I glued a magnet to it.
Plus tacks?! I thought it stayed on by itself!!?
Ramset. Admittedly not ideal, but’s it’s what I’ve got and it has worked so far.
@brennyn And it even cuts down on the number of calls from jerks wanting ro buy my house!
@brennyn Oh, not RamMount.
Hollywood Tape
You know, they make things called phone cases, that, get this, hold phones!! Can you believe it?
@hchavers I cannot believe it. You need to provide some evidence.
Magnets everywhere.
How do I keep my phone from sh!tting all over the place!? Easy, I just don’t feed it spicy food
I usually let the phone operate the clutch pedal and I do the shifting.
@sicc574 don’t you drive an automatic?
JB Weld.
One word to fix anything that moves…Duck Tape!
@texmarc Can this magical product be used in a trunk?
@texmarc Can it be used on a bunk?
@GetClosure @texmarc Can it be used in a frunk?
@blaineg @GetClosure @texmarc can it be used to dunk?
@blaineg @GetClosure @hchavers @texmarc Are these claims mostly bunk?
Pocket.
My son makes fun of me because I buy sleek beautiful iPhones and slap them in Otterbox defenders. I think mine is blue? (He also makes fun of me because I buy iPhones.)
But it doesn’t slide around is my point.
@sammydog01 THIS!
I wish phonemakers would get over their obsession with “sleekness” and make phones with actual grippable contours or facets!
@sammydog01 @Kyeh Amen!!

Is this an Apple thing that I’m too Android to understand?
@bocoroth never apologize for being too android - it is the way.

Break a shift fork.
I don’t let it borrow the car.
Rubberized case. It don’t slide no how, no where.

@806D2701 gravity isn’t just a good idea, it’s the law!!!
It’s on the wall… right where it belongs!
@chienfou My friend actually has a functioning one of these out in his shop/studio:
Drop the lever all the way to L. The revs get a bit high, and speeds go into the toilet, but them’s the breaks.
@werehatrack Don’t forget R for Race.
I hold it in my hand. Wtf kind of question is this anyway.
This is a trick question, right?
