Truly going insane watching my dad destroy expensive phones and laptops faster than I can fucking reorder them for him.
Doesn't matter how much help and advice I give him; my mans is just the clumsiest and stupidest motherfucker alive when it comes to electronics. Killed two phones the exact same way and two laptops the exact same way.
(Fucking up the phone charging ports by jamming the plug in unaligned. Spilling water on the laptops and then IMMEDIATELY trying to restart them. I mean. You'd think if you destroyed a multi hundred dollar device because of a certain really dumb and avoidable mistake you would, idk, remember to not make that mistake again ... fuck me).
Straight up lost a brand new cell phone replacement before even opening the box, and his memory is such shit I can't even tell if he even received it in the first place.
Meanwhile it takes me at least 4-5 years before needing to replace something, and usually it's because of shit like defective lithium ion batteries ...
"We're tight on money so I have to jack your rent up 3x," says man who goes through $500+ of tech every year because he has the memory, common sense, and manual dexterity of a garden slug.
It's not like phones and laptops are the only shit he goes through like this, either; we got lawnmowers, exercise equipment—appliances, you name it, he breaks it. Drives me fucking bananas.
#this is actually somewhat of a disservice to the slugs#who probably have better manual detexterity than my father despite not having hands#I don't know if I'll ever be able to afford a house#and I've taken to doing day trading and online surveys to make side money#and this mfr is out here blowing through money for no fucking reason at all#and then making ME have to reorder and setup and transfer data and teach him how to use shit over and over again#because he's also too fucking stupid amd/or lazy and entitled to do that himself#not that he ever shows proper gratitude for me doing this all the time mind you#like he thinks I don’t have any choice in the matter#I fucking hate this man forreal
