Don’t Know Your Girlfriend’s Cellphone Number? You possibly can Get Dumped [Modern And Awkward]

Who cares how technology is affecting our brains . Is technology making it easier for us be dumped by our girlfriends? The Big Apple Times today explains how a guy’s advanced cellular phone technology indirectly got him dumped.

The item is ready the final phenomenon of folk not knowing even their closest acquaintances’ phone numbers. At the present time, everyone just puts a host in their smartphone and stabs at the screen after they have the desire to make a choice. Beware: This may end in you being dumped, as on the subject of 21-year-old Travis Erickson.

One day, Erickson got stranded at the beach without his cellular phone. But he couldn’t call his girlfriend of a year, because he didn’t know her number. After a long time, Erickson resorted to a desperate measure, in keeping with the Times :

Stuck at the beach, Mr. Erickson was forced to call one more number he did remember: that of an ex-girlfriend from that distant era when land lines and even pagers ruled the day. She was friends along with his current paramour and provided her number.

Picking him up at the shore, his girlfriend was not happy. ” I told her that I actually had little need to memorize it because I always had it,” he said. ” She was still upset.” They broke up two weeks later.

Travis Erickson now roams the countryside with nothing but a rotary phone and a section of charcoal with which he scratches phone numbers onto a nice section of tanned hide.
