My Phone Battery Has Trust Issues
My phone battery and I are no longer on speaking terms.
This morning it was at 100%. I opened Instagram for “two minutes.” When I looked again it was at 17% and giving me the silent treatment.
The Intervention
I tried everything:
- Low Power Mode (it took it as an insult)
- Closing background apps (it opened more out of spite)
- Promising I would charge it soon (it has heard this before)
Now it only charges when it feels like it, and it deliberately dies during important calls. Therapists say this is a classic case of battery abandonment issues.
We’re trying couples counseling. So far the only progress is that it agreed to stay above 5% if I stop taking photos of my food.
