My cell phone is mocking me

It keeps turning on driving mode, where everything is at full volume, and when I try to tell it to deactivate, it just gives me the time. Voice recognition: still not perfect.

Shut up and take my money already

That's the meme Alexx told me about this morning while I was grousing about how I would really like to give the musician my money, if only the MP3 of his song was available through quote legitimate unquote means, as opposed to having to convert the YouTube video to MP3 as it is the only source I could find for the single. This is the second time this happened to me this week, and it's only Wednesday.
