Real Life Trolls

So don't you just love it when you have a loner phone because yours broke and you're waiting for the new Droid Razr to get to your house, so your friend decides to send you a picture message on a phone that doesn't have multimedia messaging. You then politely tell them that you can't see what they sent, so you ask them what it is. INSTEAD OF THEM TELLING YOU, they decide to get everyone to send you all kinds of pictures, knowing that you can't see them, including random people that you have no idea who they are.

DON'T YOU LOVE FRIENDS?!?!

My phone is kind of like that. Sometimes people would send me a picture, but I can't see it because the size of the picture is too big. One time, a friend was taking a picture some bears at the zoo and sent them to me. I replied saying I couldn't see it, and if they could use a lower resolution. Then they sent the exact same picture without even trying to do as I asked.

Most of the time, I end up saying that the picture is nice, even though I have no idea what it is. It's better than being bombarded by tons of pictures. Because, like you, I have friends that just have to send picture messages even though they know I won't get to see them. All I see is a little box with a red "X" in it.

So... is this thread about phones or trolling IRL? :/

My phone's pretty good, it takes good photos (I have a couple of stunning rainbow and sunset pictures, and a couple of funny signs I saw, like the local church screening the World Cup games last year) but it's all on internal memory, unlike my old one, which had an SD card.

I sent my old one to my dad, and before it stopped working, he used to text me random pictures of the TV, or my mum in the pub. It had quite a good camera by phone standards, and even had its own shutter button on the side of the phone, like a proper camera.

I wouldn't know, I have no friends lol. Noone calls me or sends me messages. But it sounds like your friends are silly because they still get charged for sending you a picture that you can't see. So the joke is on them!

This is why I keep my phone updated.

Yeah? You wanna know real life trolling? Work at an airport. I'll show you trolling.

Bahaha. Sorry, friend. I sent you a picture of this:

I was at Gamestop and happened upon it. And I would have explained, but then I sort of forgot about it.

I don't even know if you're talking about me, but I did do that yesterday, so.... that's what I sent you. Enjoy.

My phone sometimes glitches out on me if I speed out of some menus. It also tells me it has less space than it had AFTER I'd deleted stuff from it. Oh well. Not like I even use it for anything other than the time.

As for other trolls? Had a guy at work a few months ago trying to convince me that he had Assassin's Creed Revelations on PC, and that he'd bought it from our store. He raged at me when I asked if he could bring the disc in with a receipt, and I'll go about "replacing" it for him, and he threw a case at my co-worker before storming out the stop.

My phone doesn't do anything cool. It just sits there looking cheap, scratched and smudged. It is all of those. But it's five alarms and timer work sufficiently for my purposes (3vil cooking)

I have my own troll of the cave variety, I'd rather not get into the why here, but long story short, last night it snapped my favorite chef knife in two. So for now I am forced to use a four-inch blade tiki knife. Oh the disgrace.
