Picture this: You are hanging out with your friends in the city, hiking, at the mall, at the bar, whatever, and you look at your phone — and suddenly your heart drops. Your phone is only at 1 percent battery life. What? How did this happen? Was I checking Instagram too often today? Did I spend too much time creeping on my crush’s new Facebook profile picture? I did spend an hour or so looking at puppy pictures today. I thought that I was just at 50 percent. Ugh. What am I going to do? Now I am going to be the only one who doesn’t have their phone. I won’t even be able to update my Snapchat story to brag about what I am doing today! I better update it now. *looks at phone* No! *phones dead* Now what? Here are 13 things to do when your phone dies while you are out.
1. Check the Internet for what to do when your phone dies. Oh wait.
2. Cry.
3. Bring out your inner scientist and try to create electricity to charge your phone, good luck.
4. Pray that your phone was just messing with you, and it’s not actually dead, and it magically turns back on.
5. Curl up in a ball and fall into a deep depression because all of your friends are on their phones, and you are sitting there twirling your thumbs
6. Cry some more.
7. Throw your phone against a wall to try and play catch with it because why not? It’s dead anyway.
8. Have a funeral. R.I.P. phone.
9. Throw your phone in the trash because, let’s face it, it’s completely useless unless it’s charged.
10. Ask a friend to call 9-1-1 because this is a real emergency.
11. Vow to yourself that you will never go anyplace without a charger again.
12. Curse yourself for not making sure everything was at 100 before you leave the house: Outfit, shoes, phone.
13. Resorting to saying “retweet” out loud because you can’t go on Twitter.
Charge your phones people. You will thank me later.
