First accidental lockout
That was a close one. Took my son to football this morning, he was using my phone while on the drive and by the time we got to where he was playing my phone was on like 16%. Me thinking nothing of it, I started using my phone during the game like I had 100% battery.
Then it happened, my phone died, and it never crossed my mind that that would be a problem, the game ended and as the players where doing there customary penalty shootout (u8s) I decided to put my chair back in the car, tried to open the boot, nothing! Then suddenly it dawned on me I need my phone to get in the car!! Panic set in both key cards are at home and I’m 30 miles away in an area with little to no reception, the air turned extremely blue at this point. After 15 seconds of straight swearing I manage to turn my phone on and there is 2% left great I can get in I thought….
NOPE! More panic set in, I start asking other parents if they have a phone charger “yeah sure, but it’s USB C” (I have iPhone 13 mini which has a lightning connection) the panic at this moment was in overdrive. Then the team manger say “I’ve got wireless charging” rejoice I can feel the colour in my face starting to return he gets the phone to 7% and I frantically unlock the phone and open the app as quickly as my fingers will allow, after a moment of waiting for reception to kick in the app opens, I dash to the car and try to open the door.
It opens “thank the lord” I think, I put my foot on the brake to get going, but the car is telling me I need the key card or I can set up my key on the phone. The air again starts to turn blue but after a small moment I push the brake again and it asks me for my pin to drive. Problem over, cased solved.
Moral of the story don’t be like me, think before you let your phone die and don’t have your keycard as backup. Thank you for listening to me TED talk 😂
