I mean, I could've talked about how lucky I got after a four-car crash on the highway, but that belongs in /n/ or /o/.
Why don't you add to the thread instead?
>>59659686
because i don't suddenly lose my phone i was just listening to headphones with you fucking retard mongoloid.
>>59659712
So you listen to headphones?
Nice, me too! Gotta love the sound of those sweet sweet Beats by Dre, amirite?
Can you reccomend any artists? Been searching for some new stuff to listen to lately, but the Headphone Noises genre is woefully lacking in variety, not many artists go for that specific sound it seems.
Thanks!

how the fuck do you suddenly lose your phone? are you autist?
>>59659834
I was jogging, phone was in a loose pocket, headphones were bluetooth hence me not noticing the phone falling out.
>waa waa i am baby and i must be entertained by noises and flashing lights no matter what i'm doing even when i'm jogging
lmao

should've written that instead of triggering us.
How's the case btw, does it feel heavy and make phone too bulky?
>>59659455
Nice one op
>>59659981
It does make the phone somewhat bulkier, but not by much. Maybe adds a quarter inch of height when face-down?
Something like 1/8th when face up, it's just the sides of the case that keep the screen from being flat on a surface when face-down.
Weight-wise it's surprisingly light. Comparing my caseless S3 to my cased S4 they feel nearly identical in weight.
I personally really enjoy the form factor of it. The back's got grip and the front 'edges' that keep the screen up about 1/8th from the ground add just enough grip to easily manipulate the phone.
In case anyone wonders, I've never had issues with the phone 'sticking' inside my pockets. It slides out just fine, in fact the rubber edge of the case makes it easier to grip in-pocket, so there's that.
Anyone else got some stories to share? Greentext stories are preeeeeeeeeetty good, so it'd be nice to have someone else contribute, just sayin'.

Dumb ass. I make triple figures in Europe doesn't mean I won't get the train or bus if needed. Traffic isn't worth it

Might want to work on your reading comprehension, anon, I knew what he meant right away and I'm a horrible Luddite with a basic phone.
>>59661113
FUCKING LUDS GET THE FUCK OFF MY BOARD
>>59659656
Put some pants on, you scrub.
>>59661192

Didn't even notice that my legs were visible.
Either way, who the fuck needs pants when you can let the boys hang free lmao

>get your ass delivered to work hassle free and cheaply

Big deal. My Samsung flip phone survived being run over by a bus. I had to dig it out of the asphalt. Worked for two years after that.
