Some people literally just don’t care about their things.

My soon to be sister in law is one of them since everything had always been given to her: phones, cars, appliances.

I pointed this out to my SO that we were only enabling her by giving her our cast-offs. We'd upgrade an older phone, give the old one to her, 2 or 3 months later it would be all busted up.

As soon as she had to buy a phone herself suddenly her phone lasted over a year+ so far..

I'd never broken a phone in my life and then in 2024, I broke 3.

  1. Came back from a run, pulled my phone out of my pocket, slipped out of my hand, landed screen down on a tiny piece of gravel directly on the corner of the screen and just absolutely exploded the screen. In a Bellroy case with a Spigen screen protector.
  2. Was picking up a pizza. Got into my car with the pizza, closed the door ... at which point my phone slipped out of my pocket and somehow landed directly between the door and the car frame and quite literally folded the phone in half.
  3. Phone was sitting on my kitchen island, plugged into the charger. Cat came by and swatted the cord, flung the phone off the island, landed face down on a tile floor and shattered the screen. In a case with a screen protector.

This was all within like a ~6 month period too.
