#And thanks to the discord chat for laughing at the raw draft of this moments after it happened

Yesterday my husfriend killed his phone dead by dropping it in hot salty water and not immediately turning it off for 36 hours

After his mantrum passed sufficiently, his decision was to get an entire brand new phone for £ridiculous rather than a refurbished one for £165 (don't ask me, I'm not him), which meant going to the phone shop and proving he had an account

Unfortunately, because his existing phone was, as previously mentioned, stone dead, he had to put his SIM in my phone and follow links to websites. (As he is a man who loves to give all his data to any tech company that wants it, the fact my browser is FF with a lot of anti tracking extensions was a whole drama I won't go into)

So, anyway, I'd been reading my silly boys and angst (and festive smut lbr) and had an open tab of everyone's favourite place on the Internet, the archive of our own

Had to disable many of the extensions to allow the documents to load (ref prev paranthetical drama), which demonstrated my partner does not know how to exit an app on a phone and also, for some reason, ensured he showed all my open tabs to the retail assistant

Bless her forever for saying "some light reading" when she immediately recognised the default Ao3 skin while I tried to atomise my entire body in the EE shop as a new year miracle
