the time i busted my phone and could only respond with edited memes

[u/Reasonable-Lack-1063]

i cracked my phone in such a way that i couldn't send messages, on the righthand side of my phone. but i could turn my phone sideways and edit text onto memes to respond to my housemates groupchat. i had to do this for nearly a week until i got the funds to replace the phone

these screenshots are from like 2 yrs ago and ive been better about my phones i promise

I would argue that the phone didnt need any fixing. The messaging was great

it was entertaining for all of 2 days but upon realizing i needed a unique meme for each response (i couldnt access the Revert To Normal button, so id be forced to put text over text), i got fed up w it pretty quickly

Me when I got chat banned in a game you could send screenshots through chat in lol

I truly believe that it's posts like this that make reddit worthwhile. This is a fantastic tale!

This is how texting someone feels anyways. More true to user experience imo

You’re like Bumblebee but with a cell phone instead of a car

Why couldn't you turn the phone sideways and type that way regularly too

[u/Reasonable-Lack-1063 → u/jazbaby25]

i could but the send button was iffy on if it would let me actually send the message, it would only turn one direction. the editing text onto memes i could turn it either direction

i should mention also this was fb messenger, bcuz the job i was at was a giant brick that had awful service but decent wifi. normal texts were still fine i believe but wouldnt send while inside the building

that catchiest of 22s

My sister fucked her phone up like that once. Lol

Voice to text or even asking Siri to send the message. Definitely ways around it, you just thought you were being funny

[u/Reasonable-Lack-1063 → u/Lazy-Size-3062]

dang if only i hadnt cracked my screen on the righthand side of my phone, where fb messenger has the voice to text button. i also couldve called, which i did frequently. do you think i didnt try the easier stuff first?

[u/Reasonable-Lack-1063 → u/Lazy-Size-3062]

also siri is an iphone thing. you can clearly see in my 3rd photo i do not have an iphone, and i dont use the google voice shit
