I guess I'm an old man but I don't understand why people give strangers their phones to enter a number. Your phone has lots of really important shit on it, people. Don't give it to strangers pleaseeee
Unless you're an obnoxious dude at a bar. Then, give your phone to anyone who smiles at you!
Not that I'd give someone my phone, or ever send dick pics (I'm with Tom Cardy on this), but all my contacts are full names, including all my family members. They wouldn't be able to tell. In fact, the only people with nicknames are my online friends, several of which still have their nickname despite us visiting each other multiple times and definitely knowing our real names.
I love that top comment:
My favorite thing about Tom is that he is a very clearly talented musician, and he uses his powers to make shitposts.
Of course, he has some awesome non-shitpost music, too. Namely, this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLzxuIfD9rU
I have Tom Cardy songs I love because they're funny, and Tom Cardy songs I just straight up love and are on my regular Playlist. Transcendental Cha Cha Cha is the top of my love, play all the time list, along with Artificial Intelligence, Don't touch my Ladder, and Lo-fi.
I love a bunch of others too, too many to list, but some of those are comedy mood songs, while the above work for many more of my moods.
Like most people sure, full names I get it I'm with you. But your mother? You have her in your phone under her full name?
And my father. In fact, mother is in there with first name and her maiden name, despite being remarried. There was some logical reason I did it a while ago that I've forgotten. Either auto complete or audio dial or something.
Scams. If someone did get ahold of your phone and it was unlocked, it keeps them from texting "Mom" "hey, I'm stuck in [xx] and I need you to send me $1500. Send it to my friend's venmo, because mine is messed up right now."
The contacts app has a field for "first name" and one for "last name". I fill out the data that the forms give me. So yes, my parents are under their real names.
Yes since I sort my phonebook by lastname it keeps family members grouped. Also you can add what the relation of a contact with you is in your “My Card”. So you can still tell Siri to ”Call Mom” and it will pick the right number even though it’s not stored as “Mom”
I mean...if a girl says, "here, I'll type it in," I'm not going to be like, "don't touch my phone, just tell it to me." What's she going to do, run away with it? Stand there browsing through my documents for my social security number?
What's she going to do, run away with it? Stand there browsing through my documents for my social security number?
Yes, and Yes. There are people who have had these exact things done to them.
Venmo themselves cash from the phone you just gave them.
People suck.
I think we might hang out at different bars idk.
Well, the good news for you is that this didn’t happen. It’s a fictional story for entertainment purposes.
What?
The "fake" part (editing contacts) is unrelated to TOP's complaint? People actually do handover their phone to add contacts. Even I've done it multiple times and I'm basically a recluse.
Desperation, that's why.
Bros if your talking to a girl and want to talk more some day its better to give her your number. It puts the ball on her court if she's interested and isn't imposing if she's not. More often then not you'll get a text by the next day if it went as well as you think.
It's very hit or miss. Couples are like a ying yang - they have to fit together
There's no one size fits all solution. You have to work out who is the pursuer and who is the pursued, and you have to keep it all in bounds where everyone is content with the process
This is so true. I always point out to people: think of all the couples you know. How did they meet? Personally I don't know any two couples that met the same way. It ranges from being housemates in college to finding out they lived in the same city from some internet forum.
You realise the exact same advice could be applied in reverse, right? If the relationship's gonna work, both people need to be interested in continuing it.

Yeah, what implies that it wouldn't?
Don't understand why this makes OP "like Hitler". The only way this is a problem for a guy is if he is a douchebag.
"Hi (name), I enjoyed talking to you last night. Would you like to go out for dinner sometime?"
"You texted the wrong number, this is your mom."
The horror!
Proceeds to send dick pic anyway
*continues to send
You open the chat and see what's already there and realise the screw-up
I'd delete said chat, just to be sure he screw up.
But that actually is an asshole move then. Because a lot of emotional attachment and memories can be in a chat.
"Son, I thought you'd never ask. Dinner sounds lovely. We'll have some chicken, maybe some sex. Let's just see where it goes."
Dorothy Mantooth was a SAINT!
The moment he opens the text message app to her name it’ll show all his conversations his mom.
Y'all are weird.
My opening move is always pictures of my gooch with no message like a man of true refinement.
The contact listed "mommy" almost certainly was not their genetic mother.
Wouldn’t the guy see his chat history with his mom and be suspicious?
Also, how fucking long does it take someone to put their number in a phone? Like, you open the add new contact screen and hand the phone over. They should make 10 taps for their phone number and maybe one tap to save it. 11 taps total. No one should be swiping through your phone just to add their number.
If you are in a social situation with conversations going on its really easy to get away with this kind of shit. Espicially if the others are inebriated.
I was the designated driver with my friends and 2 of them had the same phone. Without them noticing I swapped their phones, cases, and passwords. They didn't notice until they sobered up the next morning. It was hilarious.
Well it's a fictional caption on a cartoon, so make of it what you will.
Who tf is up voting this dumb shit?
I did, just to bother you. as a personal attack specifically towards you
"Am I the strange one?"
Behind strangely apparent that I am recently.
