lmao i love how even random people are happy for him

u/TheKingOfSwing777 22h ago

That honestly makes a lot more sense then how happy he was for himself. Was kinda strange how stoked he got...it's just a phone.

Losing your phone would be a stressful pain in the ass though. So many online accounts, possible credit card information… I’d feel much better if I found my phone too!

Yup I don’t know my username for both of my banks. I’ve been relying on Face ID

Plus there's a certain thing people love in having closure. It's super satisfying.

i didn't think losing a phone was a big deal until i needed some of the info that was on there :>

idk, it can be scary if you don't have a way to call someone if you need help, or if you ordered an Uber or need GPS. especially if you're alone and it's late.

i'd def be in a sobbing mess if i lost my phone at a concert. if i lost it at work or smth, or at the store, that's different--just an inconvenience and an expensive life lesson.

You’re awfully casual about a $1,000+ device that he couldn’t even get home without

u/Drunkengota 21h ago

And your magnum condom that you use for your monster dong.

Losing my phone would mean the following things for me:

  • my manga reader library gone(300 entries)

  • all my photos gone(I disabled cloud, it fucks with my gallery somehow)

  • I'd have to call the bank to recover my account

  • other things I don't even wanna think about + the fact I'd need to buy a new phone, which would hit my wallet like a truck if I wanted a proper one

u/travelingpinguis 20h ago

And the pin you dropped for your hotel... sometimes, the name even!

1

u/DangerousLoner 20h ago

Ugh the pins! I often pin drop where I park Downtown or at the Beach because I always park super far and walk to my destination.

u/Dereklikesmetal 20h ago

Lmfao lose your phone and the first thing you’re worried about is manga

u/ChaosPLus 18h ago

It was the first thing that came to mind considering I was in the bus reading some

Knock on wood. I haven't either, but I guard it like a fat kid at a dessert bar.

u/TheKingOfSwing777 22h ago

That's true. Never shattered a screen either.

u/GateEven 22h ago

Just a phone? You know phones ate life lines now? Banking, Personal info, social media, etc. Not only that but if you have apple, you fucked. You cant get your stuff back if you somehow lose your key. Everything is tied to an email. Sure you can get around all that but 80 percent (maybe more) dont have all their stuff linked together so you lose your phone you lose alot shit. It isnt just a phone in 2025.

Edit: yeah i know i got some typos. I really dont give a shit.

u/Joboj 22h ago

Because it's fun to get excited. Especially when people are hyping you up.

u/SerowiWantsToInvest 21h ago

Horrendous take

u/heroinangell 22h ago

Some people have banking info hooked up to their phone so they dont need to remember a seperate piece of plastic. He could have important memories on their. He might not be near home and needs his phone for contacting purposes. He might not be able to get another phone. Phones are expensive man he could have just been excited about the fact he doesnt need to purchase another one.

u/TheRealRomanRoy 22h ago

The crowd is hyped. Thus he is hyped.

u/TheKingOfSwing777 22h ago

I think that's what's happening yeah. It's a great moment and video for sure. So wholesome!

u/Drunkengota 21h ago

lol, you know how big of a pain in the ass it is to not have your phone? He’s at a large gathering, so I’m guessing having a phone is probably pretty key for his evening. Plus, he’d have to shell out cash for a new one, take time the next day or two and go to the store. Phones can easily run over a thousand dollars, which he may or may not have.

u/AKFishtail115 22h ago

There’s always at least one of you…

u/MooseMalinois 22h ago

You are regarded

u/brewbase 21h ago

Seems like he was joining in their excitement, knowing it was for him but also just for something good happening.

u/Mister_Sins 19h ago

it's just a phone

I'd be stoked too if a person gave me back my $1000 phone.
