They miss the "co" part. A TERRIFYING amount of people legitimately seem to not think or care about anyone but themselves at any point. They're completely oblivious to the world around them until it is explicitly pointed out, and even then it's not a guarantee.
Every time I see someone using one of these, they say they bought it at the airport and didn't know it was like that😭😭😭 absolutely diabolical of airports to sell that.
But like, if I got that I would cover it with a sweater or something. Or let my phone die. Or ask if anyone else has the cable I need. Or ask a flight attendant if they could take & charge my phone elsewhere so it wouldn’t bother other people.
So many less rude options.
(I am also over prepared and have all possible cables, so could give this person the cable they need to avoid this.)
Eh I don't disagree. If I had that thing and absolutely no way of covering it, I'd at least let a bit less of the cord out and try to use my hand. However, my point was, it's crazy airports will sell this... Like the person using it could be more considerate, but airports stocking these knowing they do that? Jail. Do not pass go, do not collect $200.
can't return something once you've left the airport. The only people buying charging cords at the airport are either unorganized or desperate because they lost/broke it, and in both cases, they're unlikely to return in any reasonable amount of time to return it.
The Cheat. Is grounded. We had that light switch installed for you so you could turn the lights, on and off. Not so you could throw light switch raves. Now let's go break open that glowstick and pour it into Homestar Runner's Mt. Dew.
I absolutely love that song. If you have a VR headset, there's an app that has a live version (for free) of Zara singing this song at you and it's fantastic.
Cuz TSA is run and staffed by a bunch of absolute idiots. I've seen them let a woman through with gardening sheers (the big ones you use two hands on), after calling over a supervisor for advice.
I learned that you can buy travel sewing kits in most airport gates at the little convenience shops and now you can use that random piece of trivia in whatever way you see fit
This is the only possible use for this, lol, you did it!
As a person who lost about 4 chargers this year having to shuffle from one extended stay to another while my partner was in the hospital awaiting his heart (sleep deprivation is no joke), I would've totally got this for exactly two months, never to deploy it again. Next time I'm hanging in the waiting room talking to other partners of heart transplant recipients, I'm going to recommend it 😂
This happened to me when I grabbed a new charger for my phone for my car, I feel like the box didn’t say anything about the rave mode but it probably did. I plugged it in and it was so distracting I had to get another new charger because that would one would have made me crash. Also I get migraines that cause vertigo so these need to come with much larger labelling about the light show situation.
This is a charging equivalent of a loud exhaust on a car. It literally has no purpose except to broadcast that you're an antisocial attention whore, and even makes for worse performance then a regular cable.
Not sure I'd have the patience to wait for a flight attendant... This is so fucking obnoxious that not a single person would hold it against me if I broke that charger.
They usually do feel that way. These are sold in the airport to people that forgot their charger with little to no indication that it lights up, then they find out when they plug in.
Not all epilepsy is photosensitive but yes it could.
I have a family member who has a medic alert bracelet for epilepsy (and communication limitations) and I would be calling a flight attendant over if said family member were with me and say unless they want to risk a medical emergency they need to sort out the charging cable situation
Tell them to turn it off due to epilepsy, then before they reply start to seizure.
edit** Sorry to upset anyone, I understand how dangerous epilepsy is (my childhood friend suffered and I had to save him from rolling into the river once as children)
It was just a light hearted comment.
I highly doubt it was on purpose, I've seen many posts of people falling victim to that cuz they bought plain white ass looking chargers at the airport which turned into disco mode only after they plugged it in
If I were them: I'd be trying to wrap something around it to kinda dull it down cus I still gotta charge but I don't want to have this discotec in front of me
I’m sorry I know this was frustrating but god dude the situation is so fucking funny 😭😭😭. Literal skrillex rave going on in the seat next to you while you’re trying to sleep 🤣🤣🤣
I would've told the flight attendant that I had epilepsy and was prone to seizures. If the guy doesn't turn that shit off after the flight attendant tells him that, that would make him seem like an asshole to everyone and he probably still would've been told to cut that crap with the temu fire hazard fuckass charger.
